Territorial Cup Rivalry Series Competition Rules and Scoring
ASU and UA sports teams will compete against one another in 19 common varsity intercollegiate sports. For a school to be the winner of the Territorial Cup Series Trophy, they must accumulate 9.5 points.
- Each sport will be worth one (1) point.
- The point is awarded to the team that wins a season series.
- If the teams play once in a given season (football) then that game counts as one point.
- For baseball and softball, all regular season games count towards season series tally,
- including the non-conference games.
- For swimming and diving, cross country, golf, and track and field only, one point is awarded to whichever team finishes higher in the Pac-12 Championship. (for these sports no other postseason competitions will count towards the series)
- If teams split the regular season match-ups, then each team receives a 1/2 point for that sport.
- Pac-12 and NCAA Tournament games can count toward determining season series winner. (i.e. basketball splits regular season meetings and then plays in the Pac-12 Tournament, whichever school wins 2 of 3 games is awarded the point).
- In the event of a tie the following tie-breakers will be used:
1. University with higher finish in the Director's Cup Standings
2. Winner of the Territorial Cup football game
