Oregonian Cup Point System
The Oregonian Cup recognizes overall school excellence in academics, activities, athletics and sportsmanship. The guiding force behind these point breakdowns is that every school that has a team or individual qualify for our state championships deserves point recognition. The amount of points is meant to be equitable across all activities with differences based on the number of teams and/or individuals participating. Teams that win a state championship will earn the same points regardless of the activity.

INDIVIDUALS IN INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES
Each individual who qualifies for the state championships in Cross Country, Swimming, Wrestling, Speech, Solo Music, Golf, Tennis and Track & Field receives an automatic 10 points for his/her school, up to a maximum of 25 points for a school in an activity. Note that relay teams in swimming and track get 10 points total, not 10 per relay member. Individual participants in hybrid sports, Golf and Cross Country, can earn additional points for a high finish, (30% of what a team would earn for that place in that event). For example, an individual placing first in a golf championship receives 60 points for his/her school. (60 is 30% of 200)
ACADEMICS
Schools receive points for having teams participate in the Dairy Farmers of Oregon Academic All-State program. Schools receive 25 points for a team with a 3.0+ average but not in the Top 10. Schools with teams in the Top 10 in an activity receive points using the scoring breakdown listed above. The overall winner in an activity receives 200 points. Schools with teams that finish atop a classification but not overall receive 175 points. Ties for the overall winner or first place in a classification are awarded the same points. All other ties are split between the places. 50% of all academic points earned will be counted toward the final Oregonian Cup standings.
SPORTSMANSHIP
A sportsmanship component was added to the calculations in 2001-2002. Schools receive 200 points per season (Fall, Winter, Spring) for having no ejections. 100 points is subtracted from a school’s total for each varsity ejection of a player or coach.
LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD
Similar to scoring systems in other states, we don’t want the winning school to just be the school that offers the most activities. For this reason we limit the number of events for which a school can earn points each season (Fall, Winter, Spring). Once a school has reached the maximum number of events in a particular season, we delete the events in which they scored the least amount of points to reach the maximum number. Limits vary by classification as many schools in lower classifications don’t offer every activity. For example a 5A school earning points in 12 different activities in the Fall will have its two lowest point totals dropped for the Fall. This same school would have those points show up in again in the Winter up to a maximum of 24 events.

About This Award
The Oregonian Cup began in 1999 as a way to recognize overall excellence by schools in academics, activities and athletics. The Oregonian began sponsoring the award in February 2002. The award honors a school's students, teachers, coaches and the entire school community. Schools earn points based on their participation and finish in OSAA State Championships and for Top 10 finishes in the OSAA Academic All-State Program, sponsored by the Dairy Farmers of Oregon. A sportsmanship component, whereby schools are awarded points each season for having no ejections, is included as well. The points are updated and released at the end of Fall and Winter seasons and totaled at the end of the year. The school earning the highest points in each classification receives a commemorative trophy from The Oregonian and the OSAA.
