All schools that felt comfortable participating in the open tournament were placed into brackets divided by division and region. Each division was broken down into regions based on location in the state, and opening games were determined by proximity of schools. Records and standings from regular-season games were not taken into account when placing teams in brackets. Numbers assigned to teams are not seeds, but alignment that was generated at random, according to the NHIAA. Teams with the lower number will host games through the first three rounds, with the NHIAA hoping to find a neutral site for the semifinals and championships. If a neutral site can't be used, the host will be determined based on whether a school is able to host a minimum of two fans per athlete for both teams. In the semifinals, the winner of Region 1 will play the winner of Region 2 and the winner of Region 3 will play the winner of Region 4. Teams will be permitted to opt out of the tournament at any time, with the next scheduled opponent moving on automatically to the next round. Following are playoff pairings for all four divisions. ## Division I ### Region 1 - Winnacunnet, Portsmouth, Dover, Spaulding, Exeter **Round 1: Monday, March 1** - No. 4 Spaulding 58, No. 5 Dover 49 **Preliminary round: Thursday, March 4** - No. 1 Portsmouth 59, No. 4 Spaulding 38 - No. 3 Winnacunnet 56, No. 2 Exeter 53 (OT) **Quarterfinals: Saturday, March 6** - No. 3 Winnacunnet 54, No. 1 Portsmouth 43 ### Region 2 - Manchester Central, Manchester Memorial, Goffstown, Trinity, Bedford, Concord **Round 1: Monday, March 1** - No. 5 Trinity 61, No. 4 Concord 37 - No. 3 Bedford 64, No. 6 Manchester Central 55 **Preliminary round: Thursday, March 4** - No. 5 Trinity 67, No. 1 Manchester Memorial 49 - No. 3 Bedford 52, No. 2 Goffstown 49 (2OT) **Quarterfinals: Saturday, March 6** - No. 5 Trinity 56, No. 3 Bedford 39 ### Region 3 - Pinkerton, Windham, Merrimack, Londonderry, Salem, Timberlane **Round 1: Monday, March 1** - No. 4 Pinkerton 67, No. 5 Salem 48 - No. 6 Timberlane 58, No. 3 Windham 55 **Preliminary round: Thursday, March 4** - No. 1 Londonderry 66, No. 4 Pinkerton 58 - No. 6 Timberlane 52, No. 2 Merrimack 40 **Quarterfinals: Saturday, March 6** - No. 1 Londonderry 69, No. 6 Timberlane 41 ### Region 4 - Nashua South, Alvirne, Bishop Guertin, Keene, Nashua North **Round 1: Monday, March 1** - No. 4 Bishop Guertin 63, No. 5 Nashua South 48 **Preliminary round: Thursday, March 4** - No. 4 Bishop Guertin 70, No. 1 Nashua North 44 - No. 3 Alvirne 51, No. 2 Keene 42 **Quarterfinals: Saturday, March 6** - No. 4 Bishop Guertin 54, No. 3 Alvirne 40 **Semifinals: Wednesday, March 10** - Winnacunnet 61, Trinity 48 - Bishop Guertin 55, Londonderry 38 **Championship: Saturday, March 13** - Bishop Guertin 42, Winnacunnet 35 ## Division II ### Region 1 - Oyster River, Pembroke, Bishop Brady, Sanborn, Coe-Brown **Round 1: Monday, March 1** - No. 5 Oyster River 71, No. 4 Bishop Brady 52 **Preliminary Round: Thursday, March 4** - No. 1 Sanborn 66, No. 5 Oyster River 62 - No. 2 Coe-Brown 42, No. 3 Pembroke 40 **Quarterfinals: Saturday, March 6** - No. 1 Sanborn 72, No. 2 Coe-Brown 67 ### Region 2 - Manchester West, Souhegan, Pelham, Hollis Brookline, Milford **Round 1: Monday, March 1** - No. 5 Manchester West 48, No. 4 Souhegan 38 **Preliminary Round: Thursday, March 4** - No. 5 Manchester West 61, No. 1 Hollis Brookline 49 - No. 3 Pelham 56, No. 2 Milford 32 **Quarterfinals: Saturday, March 6** - No. 3 Pelham 56, No. 5 Manchester West 55 ### Region 3 - John Stark, Bow, Hanover, ConVal, Lebanon **Round 1: Monday, March 1** - No. 5 ConVal 90, No. 4 John Stark 56 **Preliminary Round: Thursday, March 4** - No. 1 Lebanon 54, No. 5 ConVal 37 - No. 3 Bow 47\.
