SALT LAKE CITY – The two major universities in the Beehive State long have had a storied rivalry across numerous sports, but now the school that wins the most competitions will take home a traveling trophy bearing the name of Deseret First Credit Union.
The winner of what is called the “Deseret First Duel” will be based on a competition in the 12 sports the two universities compete head-to-head during regular-season play. The Deseret First Duel will use a system that awards points to the winner of each head-to-head competition. A team trophy will be awarded to the individual winner of each sport–football, basketball, softball, etc. Points won by the individual sports will count toward each school's overall total.
At the conclusion of each school year, a granite traveling trophy will be awarded to the overall rivalry series champion.
