Some long travel for Fort Kent, Fort Fairfield, Kathadin, Hermon, Washington Academy, etc, especially on a schoool night.

Some intersting data:
Jonesport Beals only team that gets a bye in a class
Mt. Aarat vs. OH only prelim in Eastern A
Longest trip Fort Kent to Bucksport
Possible Upsets:
..Class D FF over BC
..Class C GSA over Stearns
..Class B Nokomis over Camden Hills

Best low seeded team: Nokomis, but they have been really inconsistent all year, Depends on which team shows up to play at Camden. They are the one team I would be worried about if I had to play them.

Home high seeded teams have the advantage:
No Travel
Home Court

Officials not a problem as they are assigned by the Maine State Basketball Commissioner.
