After twelve races, Team NordicSkiRacer leads the Brumbaugh Cup competition as the most powerful team, with 709 points. Breathing down their ski tails is Hanson Hills / Cross Country Ski Shop, just 66 points behind with 775 points. In third is the Vasa Ski Club with 934 points.

The Brumbaugh Cup is a team scored competition with each designated race counting each team’s top 5 senior male skiers and top 3 senior female skiers. It is scored like a cross-country running event with first place receiving 1 point; down through the max of 35 male skiers (7 teams x 5 skiers) and 21 female skiers (7 teams x 3 skiers). The lowest point total wins each race and the lowest point total of all designated races wins the Brumbaugh Cup. The designated Brumbaugh races include those races where there is a single Michigan Cup points paying event.
