Notes: Minnechaug and Amherst changed their first round Saturday game to Friday and that was the only change that took place at the meeting. As changes come in and times are made available, I will update the blog to inform the public. There are likely to be changes due to proms, graduations and other school activities.
The seeding was based on the Walker System, which took overall record, strength of schedule and record against tournament bound teams (Including CT). One important note was that games against Private Schools did not count towards overall record. Also, games played against CT schools only counted if those teams were reognized by their state, such as the way teams are recognized here as being part of the MIAA.
