NHIAA releases details, brackets for boys soccer open tournament (Updated Nov. 8)

With the shortened boys soccer regular season scheduled to end this week, the NHIAA released Monday guidelines and brackets for all four divisions for its open tournaments.

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 location for the semifinals and final determined by a blind draw of remaining teams.

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.
