Welcome to the
Unofficial Message Board for Oregon State Gymnastics!
We (I think) KNOW we won't be going to Utah or Alabama.
I started with the highest Ranked team not paired with a host (#1 Oklahoma) ... assigned them the closest Regional site then moved to the next (#2 LSU) ... I also sort of followed the old (obsolete) method of pods (19-24, 25-30, 31-36) one from each pod to each Regional based on geography.
I haven't looked at any potential swaps they might do to avoid "in-conference" rematches or "in-Region" teams ... both seeded and 19-36 (which are otherwise placed by geography. (I have 3 NC teams in the Minnesota Regional, ... it's hard to avoid the the pairs of conference seeds in most of the Regionals with the Top-12 being 5 Pac-12 & 5- SEC!)
The NCAA guidelines are shown below these pairings ...

When seeding/pairing teams for regional competition, the NCAA Womens Gymnastics Committee will seed 18 teams; however, circumstances may require departure from these guidelines. The recognized format for 18 seeded teams is as follows:
1 12 13
2 11 - 14
3 10 15
4 9 16
5 8 17
6 7 - 18
Teams will be seeded 1-18 on a national basis, based on RQS, and placed in the bracket. Standard bracketing procedures will be followed with teams seeded 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 12 placed on the left side of the bracket and teams seeded 2, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11 placed on the right side of the bracket (Appendix A). Seeding determined at the time of selections will be maintained throughout the championships.
1. Each of the six host sites will consist of three seeded teams (i.e., 18 seeds).
2. Because of pre-selected hosts, the following guidelines will be used to place seeded teams into regional sites:
* Pair according to the recognized 18-seed format.
* Identify hosts.
* All host teams stay home to compete, whether they are a top-18 seed or not.
* If two or three host teams are paired, the lowest-seeded host in the group will be exchanged with a non-host that holds a spot not greater or less than two seeded positions (and preferably one position), when possible.
* When teams are paired or when a seeded pairing does not have a seeded host, every effort will be made to
maintain geographic proximity for the higher-seeded team, while at the same time trying to avoid, when possible,
pairing all in-region seeded teams and pairing conference rematches of the seeded teams."
* Teams 19-36 will be placed geographically at one of the six regional sites, while at the same time trying to avoid, when possible, pairing multiple in-region teams and pairing conference rematches of the teams.
Go Beavs!!,
