Overall ranking
Overall ranking
This ranking is based on a points total for each team, calculated by awarding up to five points in each season: one point for reaching the area quarter-finals, another for reaching the area semi-finals, another for reaching the area finals, another for reaching the Trophy final, and a fifth for winning the Trophy. The team's points total is then divided by its maximum possible points total (five times the number of seasons it has participated in the Trophy), to give a percentage which determines the ranking of the teams.
