Bob, I believe the limit on how many men's or women's sports you can count was discarded when they moved to the mandatory sport system. So, no worries about racking up more women's titles!

Yes, no gender-specific requirements beyond Women's VB, Women's Basketball, Men's Basketball (our potential Achilles heel), and Baseball.  After Baseball, our best remaining scoring opportunity for net points is probably Women's Rowing which is seeded third.  We could also get net points from Men's Golf and the two Track and Field teams.  I would defer to others here about the more specific prospects for each of the remaining sports.

Why doesn’t golf replace wrestling?  Or did the 100 points we got for women’s tennis already do that?

Looks like we need 80 points to eclipse last year’s total.  Presumably that will come from baseball (which won’t displace any other sport as it is a mandatory counter) and men’s golf, if they get more than 55.5 points.  We also have outdoor track, but do we expect the track teams to displace anything?  Any other sports outstanding?

Thanks

BC, in fact, the Cup score is the total of the four required sports plus the highest fifteen others.  I adjust our unofficial score whenever a sport scores more points than the lowest one previously counted but there's not really a one-for-one replacement based on when an improved score is earned.  In the end, the date of the points does not matter, just the amount.

As for other sports, other posts have addressed this since your question was posted.  I would not be surprised by a final total of 1,460 to 1,480.
