In the conference's continuing efforts to recognize the achievements of its student-athletes, the Richard J. Ensor Esq. Commissioner's Cup is awarded annually as a symbol of overall excellence in athletics in the 23 championship athletic events conducted within the MAAC. Each institution is scored in all championships that it fields a varsity team. However, only the scores from the men's and women's basketball participation, plus the other top six men's and other top six women's championships shall be used to determine an institution's total points.
For sports without conference regular-season schedule, points are assigned based on the number of competing varsity teams in the championship. Each team receives points based on its championship finish, with the last place team receiving one point and the champion receiving an additional Commissioner Cup point.
Teams that are tied by record or point total in standings shall split the points for those positions, regardless of any further tie-breaking procedures.
In sports with associate members (women's golf, water polo, rowing), points will be awarded based solely on the finish of the core MAAC teams. The bonus point for the first-place finish will only be awarded if a MAAC member won the championship that associate members compete in.
For sports with a conference regular-season schedule and an eight, six or four-team championship, points are awarded for each team's regular-season performance as indicated above. Championship participants will earn additional points based on tournament finish.
