APPENDIX G
THE JOBY HAWN CUP (Revised 5/27/10 per Conference Vote)
The Joby Hawn Cup is awarded annually to recognize excellence in all conference sports in honor of former commissioner H.C. "Joby" Hawn for his many years of dedicated service to the Carolinas Conference. It is an award to be coveted. Separate awards determined in the same manner as the Hawn Cup will be presented to the member with the highest point total annually in all women’s sports and to the member with the highest point total annually in all men’s sports.
Points are awarded in each sport for first through last place finish with the number of first place points being equal to the number of member and affiliate institutions participating in that sport. Second place teams receive one less point than the first team, third place receive two less than the first place team and on down to last place. Affiliate members while not competing in the cup competition, will have standings points allocated. Thus a member finishing in the standings immediately in front of an affiliate member receives two points more than the member finishing immediately after the affiliate member, assuming there were no ties involved. Emerging sports are not counted in the calculations.
The method of determining points in each sport is as follows:
TEAM SPORTS - Order of finish to be determined as follows: First through last place is determined by final regular season standings, (winning percentage without divisional consideration) plus bonus points.
Order of finish to be determined as follows: First through last place is determined by final regular season standings, plus bonus points of 2 for first place and 1 for second place in the conference tournament. Bonus points do not count in maximum points possible. Should a member or affiliate be unable to start or complete the regular season the maximum point total for the sport will not change, the member will receive 0 Hawn Cup points and all contests involving the team will be removed from Hawn Cup standings computation.
INDIVIDUAL SPORTS (Men's Golf, Women's Golf, Women's Cross Country, Men's Cross Country, Men’s Outdoor Track & Field, Women’s Outdoor Track & Field.)
Order of finish will be determined by the results of the Conference tournament/meet plus bonus points of 2 for first place and 1 for second place. Bonus points do not count in maximum points possible. Should a member or affiliate be unable to participate in the tournament/meet the maximum point total for the sport will not change, and the member will receive 0 Hawn Cup points.

MXC points are based on finish at the conference championship (10 teams participating so 10 for first place, 9 for second, etc); WBB points are based on regular season finish (11 teams participating so 11 for first place, 10 for second, etc). The Maximum Points Possible is a total of the number of teams participating for each sport sponsored by the school (eg, 10 for MXC plus 11 for WBB=21). The Bonus Points are points for winning the conference tournament (Mount Olive in WBB and St. Andrews in MXC) and for being runner-up in the conference tournament (Belmont Abbey in WBB and Lees-McRae in MXC). The Earned Points is the total points from the regular season finish plus the bonus points. The Rating is the Maximum Points Possible divided by the Earned Points.
