NCAA staff | March 22, 2021 2021 Women's gymnastics championships regional selections announced NC women's gymnastics: 2021 selection show Share INDIANAPOLIS — The 2021 National Collegiate Women’s Gymnastics Championships regional selections were announced today by the NCAA. The top 36 teams based on national qualifying score (NQS) were selected for regional competition. The committee named the top 16 teams and seeded them in the bracket. Seeding determined at the time of selections will be maintained through the championship. Teams 17-36 were placed geographically at one of the four regional sites. Nine teams will compete at each of the four regional sites. The committee also selected the top 12 all-around competitors and top 16 event specialists based on national qualifying scores and placed them geographically into one of the four regional sites, keeping individuals from the same team together. The list of all-arounders and individual event specialists included individual qualifying scores from the teams competing in the first round to ensure those individuals will compete in the individual competition, regardless of whether their teams advance from the first round. In the event of a tie for the last berth into regional competition and for seeding purposes, the team, all-around competitor or individual event specialist with the highest score, not including the six used to calculate the national qualifying score, qualified. If a tie still existed, the process was continued until the tie was broken. The qualifying teams and individuals are listed below. All regionals will be conducted Thursday through Saturday, April 1-3.
