Regional Alignmnet<br />
Regionalization is a Division II championships policy that requires sport committees<br />
to select a predetermined number of teams in each of the regions of the sports<br />
involved. This policy is based on an assumption that due to the regional nature of<br />
most Division II schools, sport committees should evaluate and select championships<br />
participant based on regional results, as opposed to a national evaluation.<br />
The Division II regionalization philosophy provides access to national championships<br />
from every region of the country, which guarantees that the different regions<br />
of the country will be represented at the championship by each region’s<br />
best teams.<br />
For Division II women’s volleyball, the top eight teams in each region are selected<br />
to the championships and will compete against each other at regional competition.<br />
One team from each region will advance to the national championships. The conferences<br />
and institutions that are part of each region are outlined in <strong>Appendix</strong> C.<br />
Regional Advisory Committee Information<br />
Regional Advisory Committees (RACs) act in an advisory capacity for the national<br />
committee to assist with the evaluation of teams throughout the season, the<br />
evaluation of potential regional sites and the recommendation for the championship<br />
final site. National committee members serve as chairs of their respective<br />
RACs. Each conference representing women’s volleyball has equal representation<br />
on their respective regional advisory committees. A roster of all RACs is posted<br />
on the <strong>NCAA</strong> website at www.<strong>NCAA</strong>.org.<br />
