Any questions regarding awards should be directed to the Intramural Coordinator (Duane Parliament - room 204A, 533-6000 ext. 74828).

BEWS Competitive Units

WIC Competitive Units

BEWIC Championship Awards:

Championship t-shirts are awarded to each member of a BEWIC championship team, and are presented for each championship won. Individuals may win more than one BEWIC championship in a given season, and will receive a t-shirt for each occurrence.

BEWS and WIC Individual Championship Awards

Championship awards are presented in each area of the program to all members of a winning (faculty) team and to individual sport champions. In the past, the following awards have been presented. In 2006/2007, each championship team member was presented with a championship plaque in lieu of steins etc. This will continue for the 2007/2008 season.

Winners of WIC and BEWS sports receive awards as follows:

Note: No person may earn more than one championship toward a championship stein, plaque or bar for a sport in the same year (e.g., if the individual winner of the Swimathon is also a member of the championship team, she is only credited with one championship toward her championship award.

Open tournaments and leagues DO NOT qualify for championship points or awards.

BEWS and WIC Point System for Faculty Trophies

The following four trophies are awarded to the BEWS and WIC competitive units that amass the most points for their respective faculties:

James G Bews Trophy:
Recognizes participation and excellence in the BEWS program.

John Paul Memorial Trophy:
Recognizes unit participation (regardless of size and ability) in the BEWS program.

Marion Ross Trophy:
Recognizes competitive excellence in the WIC program.

Independent House Trophy:
Recognizes unit participation in the WIC program.

1. Teams entered in sports which are run in tournament format do not get any entry points until after they play their first game. Points are given for participation if your opponent defaults, but not for byes. The penalty for entering and not playing your first game is minus (-) 1500 points. Defaults occurring after the first match result in a loss of all participation points.
2. Teams defaulting out of any team sport played in league format will lose half the entry points for the first default and full entry points for the second default. (Teams committing two defaults are removed from the league).
   
   Example 1:
   Team Entry points: 1500
   Default after Round 1: - 1500
   Total Participation points: 0
   
   Example 2:
   Team Entry points: 750
   1st default from Curling: - 375
   2nd default from Curling: - 750
   Total Participation Points: - 350
3. Playoff points for the quarter-finals to the championship are NOT accumulative. Teams will be awarded points for the highest placing attained.
4. In the case of a unit entering two teams in sports where an entry limit is extended, the following will apply:
   
   a) normal participation points will be divided between the two teams
   
   b) points for excellence will be awarded to the best team in the unit as determined at the conclusion of the playoffs
   
   c) the second team will hold their place in the standings but will not receive the points for the place attained.
   
   Note: in the case of defaults - A and B entries for any one unit will be treated as separate entities in that sport. Each team will be allowed one default, and will be removed from the league should a second default occur.
5. If two or more different faculties are playing for one team (legally combined teams), participation and competitive points earned will be divided equally between the units.
6. Teams entered in Recreational or Tier II divisions will not earn points toward the JAMES G BEWS or MARION ROSS trophies. However, points will be awarded for participation toward the JOHN PAUL MEMORIAL or INDEPENDENT HOUSE trophies.

Individual Sports

Note:

a) Participation points are not awarded until the first match is played

b) Points are given for participation if your opponent defaults, but not for byes.

c) If participants enter and do not play their first match it costs the unit 100 (singles) or 200 (doubles) points for the default.

d) If a default occurs after the first match, the participant points for the individual or team are withdrawn, but win points are still counted.

The system of allotting for Racquet Sports is designed so that all units - regardless of size - will gain maximum participation points by entering six participants for each singles event and three doubles teams (six individuals) for each doubles event. This system permits unlimited entry in all Racquet Sports as all entries over six singles and over three teams in doubles are placed into the draw as independents.*

The exception to this is Tennis, where entry is restricted to a maximum of six individuals for singles, three teams for doubles per unit and only six independents.

* Championship points for any independent players who reach the quarter-, semi- or finals in the draw will be awarded to the player’s original unit.

e) Doubles points are awarded only if partners are from the same faculty unit.
