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: Tuesday, March 2** - No. 5 Portsmouth 49, No. 4 Winnacunnet 29 **Preliminary round: Friday, March 5** -
