I can only assume they worked out whatever broadcast constraints led them to the eight-team decision.

Not gonna lie, I kinda liked the drama of "who gets left out" as the end of the season neared.

They can do the first session with a bye.
If not, go Big Ten route and have three sessions of three. 7,8,9 first session 4, 5, 6 and session 3 1-3

I'm in the minority but I dont think every team needs to go to conference championships. The drama of who was gong to make it was one of the only interesting things in the last month of the regular season.

But since they are sending everyone, they need to put the bye in the afternoon not the evening session.

IF they choose to do a bye.
They could so three sessions of 3. Which I think that is the route they will go to be honest.

According to the Gymnastics Now article, it's going to be 4 in the afternoon and 5 in the evening.

If lukewarm, childish routines are still getting 9.95's and 10.0's, I won't be watching anyway. Can go rewatch NCAA meets from the 90's, 00's, and early 10's and see much more interesting gymnastics than we've been getting. NCAA got lame as soon as judges stopped looking for risk and virtuosity. It used to be necessary to go beyond the basic routine requirements to get a top score.
