With all Conference Championship events now behind us and the number of teams participating in the college series confirmed, USA Ultimate has finalized the size bids available for this spring season and released the final bid allocation for the 2022 College Championships.
In D-I Men’s, the size bids were awarded to AC, OV, SC, SE, SW. In D-I Women’s, it was AC, NE, SC, SE, SW. For D-III, where only three size bids were awarded in each gender division, they went to ME, NE, OV in both Men’s and Women’s.
The final bid picture for each division:
| Region | D-I Men | D-I Women | D-III Men | D-III Women |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Atlantic Coast | 3 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| Great Lakes | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Metro East | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| New England | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| North Central | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| Northwest | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| Ohio Valley | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| South Central | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| Southeast | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Southwest | 2 | 4 | 1 | 1 |
The governing body announced in February that they would be using a modified bid allocation process this season that included size bids in place of in-season earned strength bids in response to the ongoing and inconsistent nature of COVID pandemic restrictions at colleges.
Both the D-III College Championships (May 21-23) and D-I College Championships (May 27-30) will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
