Conference Tournaments,
Women's TennisThere will be 31 automatic bids handed for the upcoming NCAA Championships with the winners of the below conferences each getting 1 of those 31. The list of winners will be at the very bottom of this page.
How is seeding done at most conferences?
There are some conferences that play a round robin format during the regular season and some that do not. The ones that do not play a full round robin format usually seed the conference tournament based off the most recent ITA rankings. The next thing you’re probably wondering is what if there aren’t any teams ranked in the ITA top 50 – then what? The conferences and schools are able to see the unpublished rankings so that way they can seed accordingly.

Bobby, do you know what the cut was last year for the individual singles for men's NCAA's?
Harrison O'Keefe was the last one to get in last year and he was ranked 71. The at-large cut would have been 58 I believe but there were a lot of withdrawals so it ended up at 71.
