Six teams, five All Around competitors and one individual event specialist per event (who has a minimum Regional Qualifying Score or RQS of 9.4) were named to each of the predetermined sites. The top 18 teams were seeded nationally (based on RQS) and placed into the bracket followed by teams 19-36 who were placed geographically.
