NVSL - do divisional relay points count for division winner?

[Anonymous]

I'm confused about how the winning team is decided in an NVSL division. Is is just the points won in the five dual meets? Or those plus the points from divisional relays?

Win-loss record is more important, but if those are the same then all points (including both divisional relays and all star relays) decide a tie.

Do points override head to head? Or does it not matter and both teams get a trophy?

From the rules:

“A trophy shall be awarded annually to the team that wins the most team meets within its division. A tie is counted as a one-half win. If triangular meets are swum in the division, the championship shall be determined by a method decided at a preseason meeting by the Team Reps in the division. If there is a tie for a division championship, duplicate trophies shall be awarded.”

If teams have the same number of wins, they all get a trophy for division champs according to this. Ignore the stuff about triangular meets. Not sure if the relay carnival and all star relay points have any meaning or why the NVSL website has a total points column.
