Qualification

Since there is only one national collegiate championship for women's bowling, all NCAA bowling programs (whether from Division I, Division II, or Division III) were eligible. A total of 8 teams were invited to contest this championship, which consisted of a modified double-elimination style tournament. Two more matches, comprising Round 5, were played this year.

gollark: Apparently the first mention of coronavirus in my journal (it's computerized so I can search it very easily) was from January, and me mentioning that some teacher had been mentioning it at school.
gollark: It probably wouldn't have done me much good to have taken it seriously earlier, inasmuch as I'm not in a position to do anything about it/convince anyone else to, and the worst of the supply chain disruption everyone was hyping up was me having to have somewhat different pasta for a few days.
gollark: I think I was mostly just ignoring it and treating it as random bad background event #9372628 until march or so.
gollark: In general I mean.
gollark: > If you can see yourself needing something, and recognize the inevitability of wide scale spread, it’s preparation.I would assume that a lot of panic buyers assume they're just rationally preparing too.
