The winners of the NSAA Cup, now known as the "Buckle Up Phone Down Cup" have been announced. During the school year, member schools earn five points for each NSAA-sponsored activity in which they participate through the completion of the State Championship in each activity.
All schools, which finish in the top eight positions (plus any ties) in a State Championship event, receive points. In playoff events involving teams in a split classification, the same top eight positions in that event's class (D1 and D2) will earn full points for their Class competition. If there are fewer than eight schools from a classification in the event, only those schools represented, are eligible to receive points.
Points are awarded for all activities' Championship Events as follows:
1st Place = 50 pts
2nd = 45
3rd = 40
4th = 35
5th = 30
6th = 25
7th = 20
8th = 15
If a tie for place exists, points will be split evenly between all teams tied for a specific place. For example, the non-advancing quarterfinals teams in an eight-team, single-elimination Championship bracket will split the 5th through 8th place points. (30+25+20+15 = 90, 90/4 = 22.5 pts each)
In wrestling, Cup points will be awarded based on a school's highest finish at either the Individual Wrestling Championship or the Dual Wrestling Championships. For example, if a school places 4th at the Individual Championships and places 3rd at the Dual Championships, that school would receive the 40 points earned for the 3rd place finish at the Dual Championships, instead of receiving points for both Championship events.
In District Music Contests, schools will earn five total points for entering at least two instrumental entries; and five total points for entering at least two vocal entries.
In activities Championships involving cooperative agreements, each of the schools in the cooperative will earn the points for that respective event providing they have at least one student participating on the cooperative varsity team.
