** pre-Regional seeding information has been added to this page (and earlier men's recap pages – scroll down (analysis to follow Monday night)**
Note – CF360 still hoping to get full results, pool grids, bout scores, etc. (should have by later Monday)
The Mid-Atlantic/South Region receives six automatic sabre spots for women's foil and epee, and seven for women's sabre, into the NCAA Championship (March 25-28, at Harvard), with a maximum of two entries per team. The qualification formula is based on two elements: pre-regional seeding factor (40%) and placement/finish at the Regional (60%). The NCAA round-robin format will include 24 total fencers in each weapon, as qualified from the four regions. There also are two total at-large spots in each weapon, comprising a portion of the 24-fencer fields (again, each team still is limited to two total entrants in each weapon).
Also of note: if a team has more than two fencers falling within the regional qualification standard (i.e. top-6 for most of the weapons in the Mid-Atlantic/South), the coach can select which fencers will comprise the two NCAA entrants.
Here are quick top-12 final standings for the three women's weapona at the Mid-Atlantic/South Regional (more details, photos, etc., to be posted later). Note that each of the Regional champions listed below is the defending NCAA champion in her weapon.
