ASSOCIATION SPOTLIGHT: WACHOVIA CUP
The Wachovia Cup has become the symbol of overall
sports excellence among high schools in North Carolina, and a name change is
coming.
Since 1979 the Cup has gone to the schools that
have the best overall interscholastic sports programs in each of the four
classifications of competition: 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A. The program is sponsored by
the North Carolina High School Athletic Association and one of its long-time
corporate sponsors, Wachovia Bank, a Wells Fargo company.
But with the acquisition of Wachovia by Wells
Fargo, the newest version of the Cups themselves as well as the banners which
champions receive bear the name of Wells Fargo. So the name of the program
going forward will be the Wells Fargo Cup.
Each Cup winner receives an engraved silver cup and
a banner for permanent display at the school. The awards are presented at a
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill football game during NCHSAA Day
festivities.
All schools that finish in the top eight positions
(plus ties) in an NCHSAA state championship event receive Wells Fargo Cup
points. In events where 1A, 2A, 3A and/or 4A schools compete together, such as lacrosse,
points are awarded on a school's standing against other schools in its
classification.
In Cup competition, points are awarded for all
sports on the basis of 50 points for first, 45 for second, 40 for third, 35 for
fourth, 30 for fifth, 25 for sixth, 20 for seventh and 15 for eighth.
In the event of a tie, the schools receive an equal
number of points, based on the number of teams that tie and the number of teams
that finish higher in the standings. Five points are awarded for each
sanctioned sport in which a school competes.
