Notes:
This event is being held to emulate the IHSA
undergraduate tournament of champions in
Alumni style but is not associated with the
undergraduate event or Beckett Run Inc. This is
not an official IHSA sanctioned event.
We would encourage regions to formulate an
Alumni Cup regional competition and the top 2
from that competition are invited to the annual
final at the TOC. As an example, Zone 3, Region
5 has a top Alumni award for most points
earned. Zone 3, Region 4 awards the Alumni
Cup to the rider with the most points out of 7
shows in the regular season.
