Jim Ten Ecyk Memorial Trophy

A replica of the original hand-carved mahogany plaque, the Ten Eyck Trophy pays just honor and respect to Jim Ten Eyck, Syracuse University's revered and famed crew coach from 1903 to 1938.

From 1952 through 1973, the trophy went to the university amassing the largest number of points in the varsity, junior varsity and freshman eights.  Starting in 1974, all races counted in the scoring under a system adopted by the coaches of the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges.

The total number of points for each race will be divided by the number of crews entered and awarded accordingly.  As an example, the varsity eight race carries the highest amount of points, 108.  If there were ten crews entered, the first place finisher would receive 108 points (10 times 10.8), second place 97.2 (nine times 10.8), third 86.4, down to tenth place which would be 10.8.  In the case of a tie, the team finishing the highest in the varsity eight race would receive the Ten Eyck Trophy.
