The first day, the two lowest rated squads in the Regional will have a "play-in" dual meet to qualify to the Regional semi-final. Two sessions of four teams will compete on the second day, with two advancing from each session. Finally, at the Regional Final, the top two (of four) will advance.
The 8 teams will qualify to the National Semi-Finals. Four teams will compete in each session, with two from each to advance to the "Four on the Floor" final.
Q3: What is the Women's NQS?
