Not too surprisingly, UM won (or tied) every session for all 3 years that Pontiac sponsored the Challenge (2003-2004, 2004-2005, and 2005-2006).
Also not too surprisingly, Pontiac lost interest when the Challenge got too one-sided.
So, after the 2005-2006 season, they dropped it, but I picked it up.
However, I thought their setup with the 3 sessions and a goofy scoring system could be improved, so I changed it to a single session (the whole school year), with 2 points for each win, and 1 point for each tie.
From 2006-2010, I used Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to track the results.
I used the built-in spreadsheet-to-HTML converter in Excel to generate the Web pages, which I then had to upload to my Web site.
It was clumsy, to say the least, so I wrote a PHP script, with some Javascript, to use MySQL to generate the Web pages 'on demand'.
I also entered all the old data for the seasons going back to 2000-2001, which is as far back as I can find reliable information.
A quick look at the 'Season: Summary/Sport: All' page will show that UM has won the State of Michigan Trophy every year for the last 25 years except twice (2009-2010 and 2023-2024).
