Now in its seventh year, the Directors Cup is awarded to the school achieving the highest cumulative point total in each classification based on state tournament results in all boys and girls sports, and the successful implementation of the “Raise The Bar” sportsmanship initiative.
The top 16 teams in each sport and classification received points based on how their teams finished in the UHSAA State Championship events.
Each school may also submit its respective team GPAs to the UIAAA.
The top 16 teams in each sport and classification also received points based on how their team’s GPA rank compared to other schools in their classification.
Every school, regardless of team GPAs or how it placed in any State Tournament, can also receive points from the successful implementation of the “Raise The Bar” sportsmanship initiative.
