...England. The trans-Atlantic meet uses unique scoring system in which the visiting team decides which points system will be used— this year, Oxford and Cambridge chose the “winner-takes-all” system, where only one point is given to the winning team per event, and the Harvard/Yale women trumped their English counterparts 12-7 while the American men fell to Oxford and Cambridge, 10-9.
