How Can I Earn a Varsity Letter?
1. Compete in IHSA Sectionals or IHSA State Championships
OR
2. Score a point in a Varsity meet against Varsity competition.
How do I Score a Point in a Meet?
Team points are awarded to place winners according to the order in which they finish in a given event. For scoring purposes, a team is made up of one or more competitors representing a single school. The team winner is determined by totaling the points won by the individuals and relay teams representing that school.
The number of places to be scored for each event, unless otherwise announced by the games committee, shall be according to the following table:
Number of Teams Competing in the Meet Individual Scoring Relay Scoring
2........................................................................................5-3-1 5
3........................................................................................5-3-2-1 5-3
4........................................................................................6-4-3-2-1 6-4-2
5........................................................................................8-6-4-2-1 8-6-4-2
6........................................................................................10-8-6-4-2-1 10-8-6-4-2
7 or more (6 scoring)................................................10-8-6-4-2-1 10-8-6-4-2-1
7 or more (7 scoring)................................................10-8-6-4-3-2-1 10-8-6-4-3-2-1
7 or more (8 scoring)................................................10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1
Note: Individual Athletes in a Relay, are credited with 1/4 of the points the Team earns in the Relay
What happens if there is a tie?
If there is a tie by any number of competitors for any scoring places, the points for tied places shall be added together and divided by the number of competitors who are involved in the tie.
For example, if 6 places were scoring, and there was a tie for first place between two competitors, the first place points (10) and the second place points (8), would be added together (18) and then divided by the 2 competiors, and each athlete would be awarded 9 points.
