TRIANGLE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ATHLETIC CONFERENCE 

GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION 

1. There will be a $5.00 admission for the following conference tournaments: Boys/Girls Varsity 

and JV Basketball, Swimming, Volleyball and Wrestling. There will be a $3.00 admission 

charge for the Track & Field conference championship meet. TISAC students will be admitted 

for Free with student ID. 

2. A conference school hosting a TISAC tournament will be responsible for paying the expenses 

of a conference tournament and will be reimbursed for officials, security, support personnel 

and furnishing supplies for the hospitality room. Net revenue generated from the tournament is 

then submitted to the conference treasurer. 

3. The TISAC will pay up to $150.00 for the hospitality room expense during conference and/or 

State tournaments that are hosted by a conference school. 

4. The ejection/suspension rule is in effect for all sports at all levels. Any player or coach ejected 

or disqualified from a contest will be suspended from playing or coaching in the next 

scheduled contest. Players serving a suspension may sit on the bench but may not dress. A 

coach serving a suspension may not attend the contest. A $100 fine will be assessed should a 

coach be ejected from any game. Any coach who is ineligible due to an ejection will be fined 

$500 if he/she attempts to coach or to attend a subsequent game. See NCISAA regulations for 

additional information. 

5. Since the TISAC automatic birth into NCISAA tournaments is determined by the results of 

conference tournaments in volleyball and basketball, the completion of the conference 

tournament will take priority over the regular season. In the case of multiple 

rainouts/cancellations it may become necessary to NOT play all regular season games in order 

to play the conference tournament as scheduled. In such cases, seeding for the conference 

tournaments will be based on head to head matchups. If this does not resolve the seeding, 

winning percentage will be used. 

6. In the event of a conference tournament NOT being completed due to multiple rainouts, the 

automatic birth into NCISAA tournaments will be determined by regular season standings. 

The conference president must have knowledge of and approve such a circumstance. 

7. Prestige cup points will be awarded based on regular season standings. In the event of ties, 

Prestige Cup points will be split between the tied schools. 

8. The maximum grade level for all JV teams is 11 th grade. Seniors are not eligible to participate 

on JV teams.

TRIANGLE INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS ATHLETIC CONFERENCE 

PRESTIGE CUP 

Athletic Directors, upon the formation of The Triangle Independent Schools Athletic Conference, 

established the Prestige Cup. The Prestige Cup is awarded at the conclusion of each school year to a 

member school in honor of the boys and girls programs that accumulate the most points through 

varsity team results. These points are awarded based on regular season standings throughout the 

school year. The girls Prestige Cup is named in honor of Mary Lou Jones, a longtime coach and 

athletic director at Saint Mary’s School. 

The formula for determining Prestige Cup points is as follows: 

Girls: Since there are six member schools, the first place finisher in regular season in any girls sport is 

awarded 7 points. Second place will receive 5 points on down to 1 point to the last place finisher in 

any sport. 

Boys: Since there are five member schools, the first place finisher in the regular season in any boys 

sport is awarded 6 points. Second place will receive 4 points on down to 1 point to the last place 

finisher in any sport. 

Point totals are tallied for each season in both boys and girls sports and a final tally is made at the end 

of the spring season to determine the winners of the Prestige Cup. 

In the event of having less than the maximum number of schools participating in any given sport, 

points are adjusted to fit the number of schools participating in the conference in that sport. Example: 

In lacrosse there are only 3 schools participating so the points would be awarded at 4 for first place, 2 

for second place and 1 for third place.

person to reach 10 points by two). Regular add scoring will be used in both singles and 

doubles.

matches or what-ever system the team uses). Any combination of players may be used to 

make up doubles teams as long as team # 1 is stronger than team #2, which is stronger 

than team #3.

have already begun, but the match involving the ill or injured has not started yet, the 

coach may do one of two things: 

1) Default the singles match in question. 

2) Substitute another player lower than #6 for the injured or ill player. 

b. In the case of illness or injury to the #1 through #6 singles, when none of the singles 

matches have begun yet. The coach must move all the players up and insert the 

substitute at the #6 position.

of the line-up.

and 3 doubles matches.

2. A 12-point tie breaker shall be used when the score becomes 6-all in each set. A 12-

doubles. The 12-point tie breaker is concluded when one player gets 7 points leading 

by two. No coaching during breaker. 

3. Coaching will be allowed at each changeover, by the designated coaches only.

less.

be the rule concerning line calls. If a ball cannot be definitely called “out” it should 

be called “in”. Any hesitation on the part of the player indicates some doubt; 

therefore the ball in question should be called “in”. A let should never be played in 

the place of making a call. 

6. A coach or school representative must be present at each contest in which his or her 

school participates.
