From each of the four regionals, one all-arounder and one athlete on each event (who aren’t part of a qualifying team) will advance to nationals as individuals. Thursday’s scores will decide individual qualifiers—though we won’t actually know who they are until after Saturday when we know what teams made it. Tiebreaks are used, the first being to count all four judges’ scores, then if they’re still tied, we go to the head judge’s score, and then if they’re still tied, we go to NQS.
To help visualize who is in contention for these spots, I’ve broken the athletes into their regionals and listed the top 12 ranked athletes in each category at each regional. Those in italics are seeded to advance with a team, while those in bold are not seeded to advance with a team.

While Jordan Chiles would be the smart-money pick here, it’s Audrey Barber who is highest ranked of the non-Michigan AAers.

Michigan and LSU dominate the bars standings, but Chiles and Flatley stand out as individual favorites. This could be Flatley’s chance, especially if Chiles makes it for AA.

This is a deep beam regional, with most of the UCLA lineup and most of the Missouri lineup seeming realistic should they not get through as teams.

LIU’s Mara Titarsolej ranks as the top bars worker here among those who aren’t favored with a team, and qualification would be a major accomplishment for 2nd-year LIU.

Auburn and Florida truly dominate the beam standings, so if they both go through as teams and then Worley goes through for AA, the beam qualifier from Auburn could be the most wide-open race of all.

Maddie Diab is another Iowa State gymnast with a 10 this year. Baumann and Hawthorne probably represent Georgia’s best chance to get something to nationals.

*Unless Arizona advances as a team, then evening.
If Minnesota doesn’t go, then Ramler/Loper would be the clear pick, but if not, this one just looks like a gaggle of 39.4s and 39.5s where most of Cal’s team seems as likely as each other.

The regionals of bars will see many of the top bars workers in the country miss nationals regardless of which teams advance. This is definitely Boise State’s best look at a qualifier, but beating an entire Minnesota or Cal lineup is an ask.

Kyla Bryant had the misfortune of getting the same regional as Carey, which puts a damper on her AA qualification hopes, so floor looks like her best shot.
She’s one score short of an NQS, but Jessica Hutchinson is definitely a contender to qualify in the AA as well.
Can an individual qualify for multiple apparatuses? Let’s say Jordan Chiles earns the AA spot, can Norah get bars AND beam? Or just one?
Yes as long as they are the highest score
What happens in case of a tie? Do both athletes go or is there a tie breaker protocol?
Tie Breaker 🙁
