The regional finals are finally upon us, with four of the eight spots at nationals about to be decided.
LSU and Arizona State Regional Rotation Orders
VAULT – LSU, Florida
BARS – Stanford, Georgia
BEAM – Clemson, Cal
FLOOR – Michigan, Michigan State
The only diversion from typical Olympic order is both #3-seed Michigans electing to start on floor and end on beam rather than start on beam and end on bars.
Individually, these are the people who could potentially still take those spots, listed in order of who has priority should they need the spot.

FINAL
LSU 197.825
Stanford 197.225
Clemson 197.150
Michigan 196.750
Clemson will be stinging for a while because it was so close, and we will be stinging for a while because we almost had UNDERDOGGGG, but a huge result for them this season. Ultimately, amid everyone getting a million scoring gifts and late-rotation zoomies, Stanford was able to make up for having more errors than Clemson by having fewer built-in faults.
