We're in our third week of Regional Qualifying Score rankings, which help determine the top 36 teams and individuals that qualify to regional competitions. To calculate RQS, take the top six scores — at least three of which must be away — drop the top score and average the remaining five. RQS allows teams to drop the duds and off meets that happen from time to time. However, it doesn't reward the consistent teams as much as those with just six great scores tend to do better than those with 12 middle-of-the-pack marks.

In the second week of Regional Qualifying Score, Oklahoma increased its lead over Florida in the top spot. RQS is used to determine which teams and individuals qualify to compete at regional meets in April. To calculate RQS, take the top six scores — at least three of which must be away — drop the top score and average the remaining five.
The time has finally come! Rankings are now based on Regional Qualifying Score. And while the top spot remains the same, the rest of the rankings are very interesting. To calculate RQS, take the top six scores for the team or individual — three must be from away meets — drop the highest score and average the remaining five.

Note that some teams and gymnasts may no longer be listed in the rankings because they do not have the necessary six scores/three away scores to fulfill the RQS requirements.
Oklahoma posted two almost-198s while Florida fell to Georgia, pushing the Sooners past the Gators in the latest rankings. New Hampshire also moved up to No. 2 on beam as a team, and Bridget Sloan retained her top spot in the individual all around despite having an off meet. Denver also finally pushed itself inside the top 12, bumping out Stanford, which doesn't compete until Monday night.
