Berkshire League
-Does not appear to have a tournament (awarded outright)
Shoreline Conference
-For the first year, the conference will be switching from the top 8 format to almost the same one as the SCC (see below): every team that qualifies for the state tournament (wins 40% of their schedule) also makes the conference tournament. The objective is to give more teams playoff experience and games to play before the state tournament starts. With 13 teams in the conference, it may not lead to many more teams in the conference tournament but even one more team in fulfills the purpose of the format change. Since only 9 made it this year, there will only be one play-in game (the play-in game is how this format differs from the SCC one)
Play-ins: Thursday 2/17 @ higher seed (so 9 @ 8 this year)
Quarters: Saturday 2/19 @ higher seeds (8 @ 1, 7 @ 2, 6 @ 3, 5 @ 4)
Semis: Tuesday 2/22 @ Coginchaug HS
Finals: Friday 2/25 @ Coginchaug HS
These are the final standings:
1-Portland, 2-Coginchaug, 3-East Hampton, 4-Cromwell, 5-Morgan, 6-Hale Ray, 7-Haddam-Killingworth, 8-Old Saybrook, 9-Old Lyme
North Central Connecticut Conference

Southern Connecticut Conference
-Clearly the most talented conference for girls' basketball this year. The tournament is unique in that every member school that qualifies for the state tournament (at least a .400 win percentage) also qualifies for the SCC tournament. There are four rounds that follow a 16-team bracket, with the top teams getting a bye (number is based on number of teams that qualify). Thirteen teams have made it so therefore the top 3 teams have first round byes. Format is as follows:
First Round - Thursday, February 17 @Higher Seeds - see newer posts
Quarterfinals - Saturday, February 19 @East Haven HS - 12, 1:45, 3:30 and 5:15 p.m.
