MSABC Trophies

Each year, the MSABC Board presents awards to teams who have excelled in league meets. The team trophies and individual awards are presented at the MSABC Awards Banquet, typically held on the Saturday evening of Provincials.

League Trophies go to the teams that score the most points in their team division during our League meets; these are all the sanctioned meets held prior to our Provincial Championships. The more swimmers your club sends to each of these meets, the better your chances of scoring more points. Points are awarded at sanctioned meets as follows: 20 pts-1st place finish, 17 pts-2nd, 16 pts-3rd, 15 pts-4th, etc., with double the points for relays).

If you want to host a meet that can contribute to the League Trophy standings, please read the MSABC League Trophy Policy to ensure that you can get sanctioned. We especially encourage teams to put on sprint race meets (25s and 50s) to motivate newer competitors to come out to a meet.

Team division placement is based on the number of active team members (as verified by Swim BC and the MSABC Registrar) two weeks prior to the Provincials. If you have any questions about the MSABC team size policy, contact president@msabc.ca.

     Div 1: 1 – 30 members
     Div 2: 31 – 50 members
     Div 3: 50 – 90 members
     Div 4: 91+ members

The second award, the Champions Trophy, is presented to the team that scores the most points at the Provincial Championships. Once again, the larger the contingent of swimmers your team sends to Provincials, the better your chances are of winning. If the points are such that, prior to the final event of the meet, a team is assured of the win, the trophy will be awarded before the final event. In the event that the winning team will only be decided during the final event when most teams have already left for home, we will present this award at one of our first meets of the following season.
