We are ready to present our next set of pre-nationals rankings! Our rankings for teams attending PACE NSC will be similar to those in past years, as they only take into account performances on mACF sets. If you would like to see other pre-nationals ranking methodologies that have been discussed, check out this analysis article. With the prelim brackets now available, we hope these rankings will be helpful in making your predictions!
