The all-sports competition is determined by awarding points based on each institution’s team's place of finish during conference championship play. Teams must count their points in four conference core sports: football or men’s soccer, volleyball, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball. Then, six additional sports will be counted toward an institution’s total, with the top three men’s finishes and top three women’s finishes by points awarded counted. For teams that award a regular-season title, points are awarded based on a team’s finish in the regular season. For sports that do not award a regular-season title, points are awarded based on a team’s finish in their respective RMAC Championship.
