A total of 99 divers will compete throughout the week, with ten spots up for grabs at the NCAA Championships in the 1-meter and 3-meter. Only nine qualification spots will be available for the women's platform. If a diver qualifies in one event, they can also compete in any other event in which they finished in the top 12.
The number of open NCAA positions for each zone is dependent on how well divers from a particular zone performed at NCAAs the season prior, so results from the 2021 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships were used to determine the number of positions open for Zone B on each board this season.
