Can someone explain the scoring?? The numbers you see on the Directors cup website appear to show total points, as though every sport which scores at all contributes to the total.  The Stanford article suggests you can only score in 20 sports, 10 men and 10 women.  Is that right?  So what are the true standings?  If you can only score in 10/10 sports, then the cumulative totals on the Directors Cup website are wrong because it for instance shows us scoring in 11 women's sports plus fencing (which has no gender).  Are the actual standings (showing only schools' top 10/10 scores) posted anywhere to follow along?

Preliminary standings just run tally the raw totals.  The NACDA only corrects to the 10/10 limit with the pre-final and final standings, which come out in June.  In reality only Stanford has had a big history of scoring in more than 20 sports, so it really is just a Stanford problem.  And almost certainly the issue of getting over the limit with half of the spring sports outstanding is a uniquely Stanford challenge.

Just FYI - The final standings should have that max sport issue for Florida too since they will likely have possible scores in 11 female sports.

To get to your desired 10/10 split you will need to find the best 10 female results for Stanford and add in fencing and the men's results.  By my count last week I think you will find that men's track probably will offset that 11th best women's result.  So Stanford's final official tally will likely be in that 1230 area.  Florida, can exceed 1230 if baseball, softball and the two outdoor track teams pull in big tallies.  All other schools on the list are not yet impacted by the 10/10 split so their tallies do not need adjustments.
