The Herald Athletic Cup was designed to reward area schools for their overall athletic performance over the past school year.
Schools received points based on how their teams performed in their respective state competitions for Washington Interscholastic Activities Association-sanctioned sports. (For individual sports, scoring was determined by where a school finished in the state team standings.)
Schools were awarded 20 points for a state title and 15 points for a second-place state finish. From there, the scoring decreased by one point for every place — all the way down to one point for a 16th-place state finish.
In the case of a tie in a state event, teams received the average number of points for however many teams were part of thetie. For instance, if there was a three-way tie for sixth place, a team would receive 10 points — the average number ofpoints for places six through eight.
The same concept applies to sports where not every state placing is determined. For instance, if a soccer team lost in the state quarterfinals, that would be considered a four-way tie for fifth place.
