The SunTrust River City Rumble is a season-long series between Jacksonville's two Division I institutions - Jacksonville University and the University of North Florida - that was founded in fall 2005.
It was officially named and announced on Jan. 23, 2006, at a press conference on the UNF campus.
The University of North Florida and Jacksonville University battle annually for the "SunTrust Old Wooden Barrel," which is awarded to the school with the most victories over the other during a school year.
The "SunTrust Old Wooden Barrel" will be housed in the winning school's athletic department until the conclusion of the final event of the following year.
How The SunTrust River City Rumble Works...
Jacksonville and North Florida both field teams in 14 sports (men's and women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball, men's and women's tennis, women's indoor and outdoor track and men's golf).
Each time the Dolphins and Ospreys face each other, the game will count toward the River City Rumble standings. The exception is individual sports (i.e. cross country, track and golf), where the team that finishes higher at the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship will earn one win for its school.
For the 2008-09 school year, the teams are tentatively scheduled to face each other 20 times. To claim the "SunTrust Old Wooden Barrel," UNF must win 10 events (to win back the barrel, JU must score 11 and win the competition outright. A tie goes to the previous winner).
Here's the breakdown of the number of competitions between the two schools during the 2008-09 school year:
3 - baseball
2 - softball, volleyball, men's and women's basketball
1 - men's and women's soccer, men's and women's cross country, men's golf, men's and women's tennis, women's indoor and outdoor track
The school with most wins will receive the "SunTrust Old Wooden Barrel" at the end of the year. Any tie in the standings will keep the trophy at the previous year's winner.
