Seeding determined at the time of selections will be maintained through the championship. Teams 17-36 were placed geographically at one of the four regional sites. Nine teams will compete at each of the four regional sites.
The committee also selected the top 12 all-around competitors and top 16 event specialists based on NQS and placed them geographically into one of the four regional sites, keeping individuals from the same team together. The list of all-arounders and individual event specialists included individual qualifying socres from the teams competing in the first round to ensure those individuals will compete in the individual competition, regardless of whether their teams advance from the first round.
Individual all-around qualifiers for the 2019 NCAA Corvallis Regional Championships are: Madison Ward-Sessions (Utah State), Taylor Chan (San Jose State) and Kelley Hebert (UC Davis).

The regional round of competition has a new format in 2019. First round action begins Thursday, April 4 at 3 p.m. with a dual between Iowa and Arizona with the winner advancing.
Friday's second round is comprised of two quad meets slated for Friday, April 5, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Denver, Boise State, Washington and Southern Utah will compete in the afternoon session, while Florida, Oregon State, Stanford and the winner from Thursday's opening round will compete in the evening. The two top finishing teams from each of the second round sessions will advance to Regional Finals, Saturday, April 6 at 7 p.m.
The top two teams and the top all-around competitor (who is not on an advancing team) from each regional will receive an automatic berth to the national championships. In addition, the top event specialist at each regional site who is not part of an advancing team or all-around competitor, will advance to the national championships in the event only.
The national championships will take place April 19-20 in Fort Worth, Texas at the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena.
