CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) - California, the 2025 ACC Gymnastics Regular-Season Champion, earned the No. 1 seed in the upcoming 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Gymnastics Championship, as announced by the conference on Monday, March 17. Stanford followed in second, NC State in third, North Carolina in fourth, while Clemson and Pitt rounded out seeding at No. 5 and No. 6, respectively.
 
The 2025 ACC Gymnastics Championship is set for Saturday, March 22, at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. This year’s championship will be split into two sessions with No. 5 Clemson and No. 6 Pitt competing in a dual-meet format at 2:30 p.m. ET. No. 1 California, No. 2 Stanford, No. 3 NC State and No. 4 North Carolina will compete in a quad-meet format at 7 p.m. ET. Both sessions will air live on the ACC Network.
 
Seedings are based on the National Qualifying Scores (NQS), which is based on a team's and an all-around competitor's six best regular-season-meet scores, of which three must be away. Out of those six, the highest score is eliminated and the remaining five scores are averaged. The NQS will also determine the seeds for the NCAA Gymnastics Regional competition.
