The SIAC Commissioner's All-Sports Trophy is presented to the athletic department within the conference that has excelled in both men's and women's sports. A scoring system of 10 points for conference titles, 7 points for runner-up finishes in championships, and 4 points for 3rd place is used to determine the All-Sports standings.
Points for football are based on the results of the championship game. Men's & women's basketball, a single-elimination tournament, does not offer a consolation game, so no points are awarded for third place in those sports.
