Both the LUCA Championship and the UL Championship (as well as the new UH Championship) are run in parallel. Athletes will score based on their club’s eligibility in each competition. All athletes are eligible to score for the MVP shield. Athletes will score points as follows:
1st = 7 points
2nd = 5 points
3rd = 4 points
4th = 3 points
5th = 2 points
6th = 1 point
All LUCA athletes will score towards the LUCA Championships.
Athletes from UL clubs (found here) can also score in the UL Championships.
Athletes representing their medical school are eligible to compete in the UH Championships.
