Determining the Top School
....................................................................................................................................
| 1 |
Only schools with four teams qualify for this award. |
| 2 |
The schools are ranked according to the placings of their teams, rather than the points scored by+the teams.
|
| 3 |
If a particular school has 4 teams, then its overall ranking is deemed to be the average of the placings of the teams. The school with the lowest average wins. |
| 4 |
Ties: in the event of two schools tieing with the smallest averages, the winner is the team with its best team having the best ranking. e.g., if School X has teams with rankings 2, 5, 7, 11, and School Y has teams with rankings 3, 4, 8, 10 then School X wins. The smaller schools have a different system (goes on scores?... to be resolved) |
| 5 |
Medium and small schools are still eligible to win Top Yr 9 and Top Yr 10 trophies. |

HENRY DIXON CUP
A 'medium or small school' is eligible to win the Henry Dixon Cup.
The current definition of a 'medium school' is a secondary or area
school with a total student roll between 500 and 999. A 'small school'
has a total school roll under 500.
The winning school is the school in which the sum of the placings of its best Yr 9 team and best Yr 10 team is lower than that of any other small school. i.e., based on the outcomes of one team in each event.
EXAMPLE
School X: 3rd in the Yr 9 event, 11th in the Yr 10 event. (3 + 11 = 14)
School Y: 4th in the Yr 9 event. 9th in the Yr 10 event. (4 + 9 = 13)
School
Y wins because it has the lower aggregate score.
