Wildcat Stats
Big Sky Summit League Challenge
The two leagues will compete for a combined trophy, with both men's and women's results taken into account equally from a total of 36 games.Â
Victories in the challenge will be weighted differently based on whether they occur at home or on the road. Teams will be awarded one (1) point for a victory on their home floor. If a road team emerges with a win, it will be awarded one and one-half (1.5) points for the result.Â
 The conference with the highest total points combined from both men's and women's results will be declared the winner.Â
If there is a tie in points following the conclusion of all contests, the first tiebreaker will be the total margin of victory. If there is still a tie following the calculation of the margin of victory, the two commissioners will compete in an arm-wrestling contest at the Final Four to determine the champion.Â
The Summit League currently holds the trophy, having won the challenge for two consecutive seasons.
