About the Commissioner’s Cup
In an effort to further recognize the achievements of its student-athletes and member institutions, the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference developed an award for the institution that performs the greatest over the fall, winter, and spring athletic seasons. The KCAC Commissioner’s Cup will be awarded annually as a symbol of excellence in athletics representing聽20聽championships. Member institutions can聽earn points for their finish of each varsity team in those 20聽officially recognized conference sports.
Points are assigned based on regular-season finish for men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s聽basketball, baseball, softball, and men’s and women’s tennis. In football, points are assigned based on overall conference record in the regular season. In competitive cheer, competitive dance, cross country, indoor track & field, men’s and women’s golf, and outdoor track & field, the conference championship meet聽results will determine point values. To be a conference sport there must be six聽member institutions competing in that sport at the varsity level.
Teams who finish in first place will be awarded a maximum number of points equivalent to the total number of teams competing聽in that聽respective sport. Point tallies will continue in reverse order until the last聽place team has been awarded its corresponding聽point value (i.e. if a sport only has seven teams, point values will be given from the maximum 7 to 1).聽 When two聽or more teams tie for final placing聽in the conference standings, each team will be awarded the average聽of the respective placing. For example, if three聽teams tied for second place in a sport with 11 teams, those three聽teams will be given the score聽of nine聽points because聽those three聽teams are occupying the second (10 points), third (9 points) and fourth (8 points) positions in the standings. The sum of those three positions (27 points) divided by the three聽teams yields聽an average score聽of nine points for each of the teams.
