[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Edited to fix typos:

Two other recent ISL examples:
1. In spring 2012, Georgetown Visitation won the ISL upper division (AA) lacrosse championship by winning the regular season (and breaking the bazillion year streak of St. Stephens St. Agnes), even though the Saints won the tournament.
2. In fall 2012, Bullis won the ISL field hockey championship by going undefeated in the regular season, although losing to the Saints in the tournament.

As a prior poster mentioned, movement between the ISL upper and lower divisions (AA and A), in the sports with two divisions, is determined based on the regular season.  An actual cloth banner is awarded--to the regular season champ.  And standings in the Lewis Cup, awarded to the best overall aggregate athletic performance in the ISL, are based on the regular season.  At least once in the past 15-20 years (can't remember what year), they even cancelled most of the ISL fall tournaments and justified it on the grounds that the tournament didn't determine anything.  There have occasionally been proposals to change things (for example, make the tournament winner co-champs if different from the regular season winner) but the changes have not been adopted.  (Some say because in this "everyone gets a trophy" era, it heightens the chances that two programs can call themselves champs.)[/quote]
