By Caroline Medley The regional placements were announced this afternoon by the NCAA. While many of the selections were expected, there were a few surprises in the bunch. But one thing's for sure: we are in for some greatly exciting matchups in two weeks. To refresh your memory, the selection procedure for teams is as follows. To determine where each team goes, RQS scores and rankings are used. The Nos. 1, 12, and 13 teams are grouped together, Nos. 2, 11 and 14 travel to the same site, Nos. 3, 10 and 15 will compete against each other, Nos. 4, 9, and 16 will go to the same location, Nos. 5, 8 and 17 are in the same group, and Nos. 6, 7 and 18 are together. Then the remaining teams ranked No. 19-36 are evenly distributed throughout the six locations geographically. Individual all arounders and event specialists will also qualify to regionals with the top four all arounders not on a qualifying team in each region moving on and the top two on each event (not on a qualifying team and not competing as an all arounder) also making it. The top two teams from each regional will qualify to the national semifinals. In addition, the top two all arounders without a qualifying team and any event winners without a qualifying team will also advance to nationals. The regionals in Champaign, Fayetteville and Seattle will feed Semifinal 1 while those in Gainesville, Lincoln and Morgantown will feed into Semifinal 2. Champaign Regional
