Mount Olive Captures Joby Hawn Cup for Third Straight Year
2020-21 Hawn Cup Standings (Final)
GREENVILLE, S.C. – The University of Mount Olive has been awarded the Joby Hawn Cup for the 2020-21 academic year.
Mount Olive picked up a total of 183 points out of a possible 195 to own a Conference Carolinas-best 93.8 rating percentage. In securing the Joby Hawn Cup for the third straight year and the fifth time since 2011-12, Mount Olive collected seven tournament titles and six regular-season championships.
Mount Olive also captured the women’s Hawn Cup with a rating percentage of 92.9 (97.5 out of 105 possible points). This marks the fifth time since 2011-12 that Mount Olive has been awarded the women’s Hawn Cup.
Mount Olive also earned the men’s Hawn Cup with a rating percentage of 95.0 (85.5 out of 90 possible points). Mount Olive earns the men’s Hawn Cup for the seventh time.
Hawn Cup points are awarded in each sport based on the order of regular season finish and the number of participating teams in each sport. The institution that finishes in first place is awarded points equal to the number of institutions that sponsor the sport. The institution that finishes in second place is awarded one less point than first place, the institution that finishes in third place is awarded one less point than second place and the process continues until the institution that finished in last place is awarded one point.
In addition, bonus points are awarded to the tournament champion (two bonus points) and runner-up finisher (one bonus point). The total points earned from all sports for each institution is divided by the total possible points (excluding bonus points) for each institution based on sports sponsorship for each participating sport. Institutions are ranked by the resulting ratio of points earned to possible points.
The Joby Hawn Cup is named after H.C. "Joby" Hawn, who in 1962 became the first full-time Commissioner of what was then known as the Carolinas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (CIAC) and now Conference Carolinas. Following his retirement from the league in 1976, Conference Carolinas began awarding the Hawn Cup annually in his honor.
