Trophies & Awards

CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY AND HONORS There are four trophies associated with ISL play:
The Gummere Cup is awarded to the league champion. Points are awarded in standard form, i.e. three for a win, one for a draw, none for a loss. All games pertinent to deciding the championship must be played. In the case of a tie in points at the season's end, co-champions will be declared.

The Founder's Bowl is awarded to the second place team. In the case of a tie for the championship, both cups will be shared during the year. The Blood Trophy, first awarded in 1985, was established in reaction to the group's growing concern over violence in league play and in memory of a longtime stalwart member of the group, Marc Blood of Groton. The trophy "is awarded to the team that, in the opinion of the other ISL teams, best exemplified the spirit of the game of soccer through its enthusiasm, effort, sportsmanship, dignity, and competitiveness... a team that both earned your respect and was an enjoyable opponent." Each team votes at the season's end and brings to the final meeting an ordered list of its three selections. A team is not allowed to nominate itself. Tabulation of the votes is completed at the end-of-season ISL Coaches meeting. The Improvement Plate, first established in 1986, and renamed The Fritz Weidergott Improvement Trophy in 1997 in honor of longtime St. Mark’s soccer coach and leader in the ISL Fritz Weidergott, is awarded to that team which improves its standing in the league by the most number of points from one season to the next. In the case of a tie the team that finished lower in the previous year is declared the winner. The league also selects All-ISL and Honorable-Mention honors at the conclusion of the season, as well as an Offensive Player of the Year, and a Defensive Player of the Year.
