Replace the highest of these three scores with the conference meet score and average these three scores. Individuals who compete in a final at their conference meet may use the finals score as a regular-season home or away meet. This score will be considered prior to the elimination of the highest score. Each school is responsible to enter their own information into the system.
Some teams put more of a priority on it than others.
All schools that sponsor a team are encouraged to enter their information on this system. Rankings are tabulated weekly, Men on Monday evening, Women on Monday morning. The top two teams and the all-around winner from each regional will receive an automatic berth to the national championships. If the all around winner in a region is on an advancing team, that position will revert to an at-large berth. The six regions are numbered one to six.
