Sectional Qualifier fields are determined by taking geographic distance, economics and field size into consideration.
The sectionals will consist of 32 Baker System games each day for a total of 64 Baker games. The top four teams based on total pinfall in each division following the completion of competition at each sectional will advance to the 2007 USBC Intercollegiate Team Championships.
In addition, these four locations will host qualifying for the 2007 USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships on March 23. All participants will bowl six games with total pinfall determining final standings.
