The ECC Commissioner’s Cup
The East Coast Conference Commissioner's Cup is emblematic of the
league's top program across its 13 championship sports. A new
scoring system was established in 2006-07 to further reward
programs that succeed in both regular-season and post-season play.
The scoring system works as follows:
• Points for the number of schools whose teams compete for
the post-season Championship are split between the team that
finishes in that place during the year and the team that finishes
in that place in the Championship.
• If a team is eliminated in the semi-finals or
quarterfinals, its place among the others eliminated in that round
is determined by its finish during the regular season.
• A school which does not sponsor a sport receives 0 points
for that sport.
• Highest point total for each sport is the number of schools
in the conference (10), regardless of how many schools sponsor that
sport.
• In sports in which no Championship is held, regular season
finish is utilized.
