The tournament is not seeded by ability, since there is no equitable means to determine the respective strength of the teams. Too few teams play outside of their division schedules to create an accurate seeding. Match-ups are therefore based upon the 2024 National Collegiate Club Championship results by division. The host region receives two automatic bids, one of which is assumed by the division champion and the other by the host site or division runner-up (the 16th position). This ensures the tournament host is always a participant.
Seeding for positions No. 1-8 is based on the results of the 2024 Women’s National Collegiate Club Championship. Due to the Heartland Division dissolving and the creation of the Bay Area Division from the Sierra Pacific Division, the Bay Area Division is awarded the No. 9 seed in accordance with instruction from the league’s Board of Directors.
Teams listed first wear dark caps and are home on the scoreboard. The host team always wears dark caps and is listed first on the scoreboard regardless of seed.
