The MaxPreps Cup is determined by ranking all schools that win a state
championship or finish second in the state, or section level if there is
no state competition.
Points are also weighted, giving
more points to states that have a high number of schools, as well as more
points to schools that compete in larger enrollment divisions. Sports
are also weighted differently with football and basketball, among
others, receiving more points than sports like golf and tennis.
