What is
the Black & Blue Series?
[Top]
How the Series Works
The competition between Long Beach State and UC Irvine has been enhanced
with the creation of the "Black & Blue Series" trophy
that will be awarded to the school with the most points based on matchups
between the two universities in common sports throughout the academic
year.
At the conclusion of the final scheduled athletic event between the
two schools each year, the winner of that year's "Black &
Blue Series" will receive a trophy bearing the inscription of
the annual winners. The winning institution will retain possession
of the trophy for one year until the award presentation the following
year.
Series History
The trophy idea was developed between the schools during the summer
of 2005 and has been created to build the rivalry in athletics' competition
while bringing added attention to college sports in Southern California,
especially in Orange County and the Long Beach area. The series looks
to provide a sense of pride from each university's alumni, build school
spirit among each institution's student body and increase attendance
at sporting events between the two schools.
How the Point System
Works
[Top]
UC Irvine
and Long Beach State will compete in the following sports with the
point total for each listed below. The point system will be based
on the following:
•
The winner of head-to-head match-ups during Big
West Conference or Mountain Pacific Sports Federation play only
in each sport will receive two points for each win.
• For sports that do not play a round-robin regular season,
a higher finish in the BWC Tournament or Championships will determine
two points. (M&W Cross Country, M&W Golf, M&W Track
& Field). Indoor Track & Field will not count in point totals.
• If round robin teams should meet in conference tournaments,
an extra two points shall be rewarded. (Women's Soccer, Men's Volleyball,
M&W Basketball, M&W Water Polo, Women's Tennis)
• Regular season tournament match-ups do not
count toward point total.
• An extra point will be given to the school for any road
win.
• If contest is played at a neutral site, only two points
will be awarded.
• All BWC or MPSF Conference Tournaments are considered neutral
sites.
• In the sport of baseball, the winner of the three game series
will be awarded four points with a bonus point for a road series
victory.
• Should the two schools meet in postseason play, i.e. NCAA
Tournament (exclusive of baseball), the winner shall receive two
(2) additional points for that sport.
