A total of 210 participants will compete at the 2014 championships. Thirty-one conferences were awarded an automatic qualification for the championships. Three teams were selected from Pool B, which consists of independent institutions, and institutions that are members of conferences that do not meet the requirements for automatic qualification. The final seven berths were reserved for Pool C, institutions from automatic-qualifying conferences that were not the conference champion and any remaining Pool B teams.

Five individuals are selected from the remaining players who have not qualified with a team to complete the field.

After the first two rounds on May 13-14, team and individual cuts are made, with the survivors playing in third and fourth rounds on May 15-16.  Webster participated in the Championships in 2008 (28th), 2011 (t-27th), and 2012 (25th).
