Bri Farenell asked me where Maine would have finished in HE without
forfeits.  This seemed like something that might interest some people,
so I am posting the answer.  I wasn't sure if he meant without the
Tardif forfeits only or without any forfeits at all, so below are 3
sets of HE standings: 1) official (with both sets of forfeits), 2)
without Tardif forfeits but with Tory forfeits, 3) without any forfeits
at all.  Only the teams, records and points are necessary here.
