Road to Nationals Rankings: Week Two

Women

Women’s rankings are determined by average until mid-February. Then, the ranking method is switched to regional qualifying score, which is determined by taking the top six scores—three of which must be away—dropping the highest score and averaging the remaining five. These rankings are used to determine teams that qualify to regionals and the play-in meets.
