At the conclusion of each sport in the Games, each province is ranked according to a system outlined in the sport's technical package. Canada Games Flag Points are then awarded as noted below, with men and women ranked separately when they compete separately. When men and women compete together in a sport, as in badminton with mixed doubles or as in figure skating with pairs and dance events, the points are doubled.
