An institution’s Commissioner’s Cup ranking is calculated using its top two league finishes in the fall, winter and spring sports seasons, as well as the highest two remaining finishes, regardless of season. An institution’s numerical finish for team sports is determined by regular season standings. Individual sports finishes are determined by the finishes of the season-ending championship event.
Team sports are soccer, volleyball, basketball, tennis, baseball and softball. Individual sports are cross country, golf and track & field. Institutions winning the conference tournament in the sports of men’s soccer, women’s soccer, softball and baseball deduct one point from their regular season finish in those respective sports.
CCAA Commissioner's Cup is presented in Association with Apple Computer.
