Regional rankings[edit]

Regional rankings began on September 21 and were released every seven days. Only the top 10 teams from each gender group for each region were released and were based on RPI from games exclusively played against other SCSA teams. The final ranking, the seventh week, was released after the regional tournament and was used to determine national tournament bids.[3]
