Pac-12 Championships Scoring
Crews are awarded points for where they place in each race (the women's N8+ are not scored and do not factor into the team championship scoring). The team with the most total points is named Pac-12 champion. Here is the breakdown:

Women's Point System
Place   V8       2V8     V4       3V8
1          21        14        7          3.5
2          18        12        6          3
3          15        10        5          2.5
4          12        8          4          2
5          9          6          3          1.5
6          6          4          2          1
7          3          2          1          0.5

The finish in the varsity eight is utilized as a tiebreaker. So, in the case of a tie in the number of total points, the institution with the better finish in the varsity eight race would be awarded the team championship.

The Cougars look for a berth in the 2024 NCAA Rowing Championships at Harsha Lake in Bethel, Ohio. Which is set to take place May 31-June 2.
