The live scores link isn't working.  I will post as soon as it is.

In other regional action:

UCLA has locked up the top spot in the Athens Regional.  UGA and LSU are battling for second and the spot in the NCAA Championships.  UGA has a .850 advantage entering the final rotation, so pencil them in to Indy.

Oklahoma and Washington are the top two in the Norman Regional after all teams have completed 2 rotations.  Oklahoma has a commanding lead, with Washington and Utah neck and neck for the 2nd NCAA spot.

With one rotation complete in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Stanford are in the lead.  

Thanks for the links MDB.

You're welcome.

The UA website keeps telling me the live scoring doesn't exist.

In Athens, UGA has locked up 2nd. 


UCLA and UGA are the first two qualifiers for the NCAA championships.

I think the Regional Scores are used to seed the NCAA tournament.  So I'm going to keep track of the high scores from the other regionals.

UCLA had an impressive 197.225
UGA scored 196.750

The first rotation will be Kentucky on Vault, Auburn on bars, Penn State on Beam, and Alabama on Floor.  Central Mich and Illinois will have byes.


ROLL TIDE!

Finally, a link for the live scoring..  http://www.rolltide.com/uafiles/gymnastics/NCAALiveScoring_Regional11.html

Per Alex_TuscNews:  Auburn gymnasts; warm-up shirts get a laugh:  Front reads, "Tigerblood...: with the back, "Duh, winning."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

ROFLMAO, they haven't won in Coleman Coliseum in over 30 years, have lost to UA 102 straight times.  Here's to 103 tonight.

The University is not showing well as host of a regional.  All of the other regional's online scoring systems are working.

 :(

Is that Bama's fault or the folks with the NCAA? I'm not sure if the University is staffing this.

It's on rolltide.com, so it's got to be the University.

Do the barn girls have that "just been paid" look? ???

In the other regionals-

The final rotation is about to start in Michigan.  Michigan is taking advantage of home floor and leads.  Kent State and Minnesota will battle for the 2nd spot in the NCAA's.  A big upset in the making here.

Oregon State leads in their regional followed by Nebraska.

In the Denver regional, they are just underway.  Florida and Arkansas are in this regional and would be the favorites.

In the other regionals, Michigan has won.  Minnesota and Stanford (the top seed) finish in a tie.  To break the tie, the dropped scores are added back in.  According to my Math, Minnesota takes the tie breaker. 

Huge upset in Michigan.  Stanford was ranked 4th going into the regional. Minnesota was 23rd.

In Denver, Florida leads with Arkansas and Denver battling for second.

In Oregon, Oregon State and Nebraska are comfortably in first and second.

Alabama WINS the NCAA Regional Championship for the 26th time.



Now we wait to see who takes second and the trip to Indy.

Roll Tide. 4th quarter's ours. Thank you MDB-- #+

I wonder if etiquette is different for gymnastics.  Several years ago, at a gymnastics meet between us and Georgia, one of their gymnasts had a minor fall from the balance beam.  She basically stepped off and wasn't the least bit hurt.  It was a tight match up until then, and I said, whispering to myself, "YES!!!"  Well, some woman behind me started going on rather loudly about how classless Alabama fans are.  I kept my comments to her to myself, but I'm thinking that if an opposing football player gets creamed by one of our guys, I'm going to cheer as long as both guys get up.  Am I missing something that's different about gymnastics?  ???

Update on other regionals ----

In the Michigan regional - KENT STATE was not finished earlier when Minnesota and Stanford were tied.  Michigan and Kent State will go on to the NCAA's from this region.   An even BIGGER UPSET.

Oregon State and Nebraska lead their regional.

Florida has a 98.525 after 2 rotations to lead their regional.

Come on, Illinois!  If I calculated correctly, they need greater than a 48.75 on beam to beat the barn.

Roll Tide. Thanks MDB for the updates.

Just from glancing, it looks like Kayla Hoffman may have won the all-around.

Update after 5 rotations:

With 4 events complete

Alabama 197.275
Auburn  195.6

With 3 events complete

Illinois  146.85
Penn State 146.725
Kentucky 146.475
Central Michigan 146.175

The 6th rotation
Vault - Central Michigan
Bars - Penn State
Beam - Illinois
Floor - Kentucky

Byes - Alabama, Auburn


Go Illinois and Penn State!

So far, she's winning 3 events - Vault, Bars, and Floor - and tied for 2nd on Beam.
I'd bet my next paycheck she's won the All-Around.

Geralen Stack-Eaton is winning the Beam title.

Maybe it was just that woman's TOM?

Updating the other regionals --

Oregon State and Nebraska have locked up the top 2 spots in that regional.
Oregaon State is done with a 197.025.

Florida leads in Denver with Boise State and Arkansas in a very tight battle for 2nd.  Florida has a 98.525, Boise State 98.25, Arkansas 98.2.


Already in the NCAA's in Cleveland - UCLA, Georgia, Michigan, Kent State, Oklahoma, Utah, and ALABAMA.

I wouldn't feel bad about whispering "Yes!!!" when it's Georgia.  Their fans were doing the wave while our ladies were on the beam this year trying to break their concentration.

Penn State has knocked Auburn out of the NCAA's.

 #+

Illinois will join Alabama in the NCAA Championships. 

Final results coming soon.    Kentucky is finishing up now.

Final Results:

Alabama 197.275
Illinois   195.925
Penn State 195.825
Auburn 195.6
Kentucky  195.175
Central Michigan 195.075

Event winners coming soon.

There are only two spots left in the NCAA Championships.

In the Denver regional, Florida is leading.  Arkansas and Boise State are fighting for the final spot.

Oregon State and Nebraska have wrapped up their spots.

Kayla Hoffman is named Central Region Gymnast of the Year!

RTR.  Are the rotating gymnasts competing for something?

Yes, they can qualify for the NCAA championships as an all-arounder or on the individual events.   

I think it's the top two scores of gymnasts not on teams that qualify for the championships.

Okay.  Thanks for the info.  It didn't look like there were too many stellar scores from the rotating gymnasts at our meet.

Update on the final regional:

This is another huge upset in the making.  Florida is the #1 team in the nation.  Arkansas and Boise State need to score higher than 49.05 to beat Florida.  Boise State is having the meet of their year, scoring 49+ on every event so far tonight.  Arkansas has scored 49+ on 2 of 3 events tonight.

Oh fudge! I just really hate that.


 :nah:



 :jokerface:

Hate it almost as bad as I hate the fact that Alabama has now beaten Auburn 103 straight!!!!!

The teams for the NCAA Championships are set.

Arkansas wins the final regional.  Florida edges Boise State by the thinnest of margins .025 for the final spot.



I'll post the seedings and the times for Alabama's competition in the preliminaries when the scores are official.

Thanks for the updates MDB.  You put a lot of work into this and I really appreciated being able to read the play by play tonight.
