The ECC Commissioner’s Cup
The East Coast Conference Commissioner's Cup is emblematic of the league's top program across its 17 championship sports. A new scoring system was established in 2013-14 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 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 that sponsor that given sport
• For Cross Country and Track & Field, championship meet finish is utilized.
• Example: Team A wins regular season, finishes second in tournament: (11 + 10) / 2 = 10.5 points
• Example: Team B finishes fourth in regular season, wins tournament: 8 + 11 / 2 = 9.5 points
