- Players may play “up” in age/grade groups, but may NOT play “down.”
- Any team that forfeits a game during the tournament will be ineligible to compete in any playoff games.
- No player (unless a team needs a goalie that they roster from within their organization) may compete, or be rostered, on more than one team during the tournament. Any team with a player in violation of this rule will forfeit all games in which the player is known to have competed and therefore, forfeit the opportunity to advance to the playoff round.
- Tie breakers will be determined for each age/grade group and division depending on the number of teams participating in the respective age/grade group and division. Tie breaker information will be available on MesaLacrosse.com no later than one week prior to the tournament.
- Any player, fan or coach ejected from the game will be prohibited from competing in his/her team’s next game.
- Decisions on the field will be the final ruling. Any fighting or flagrant disrespect toward an official will result in expulsion for the remainder of the tournament. No Exceptions, No Refunds.
- Spectators also need to respect the Officials and the Players. Bad behavior will not be tolerated. Should referees or tournament director deem a spectator, player, or coach needs to be removed from the site(s) of the tournament, it will be the responsibility of the coach from the offender’s team to remove the offender from the site(s).
- Each field is assigned a Field Timer; the Field Timer will record the score on a scorecard for each game. At the end of each game one referee who officiated the game will sign the scorecard to confirm final score and expulsions. Coaches should check the scorecard on the field if they wish to validate or challenge a score. Any challenges must be made immediately following the game with the Field Timer, who will contact a tournament administrator to address the issue. Once the scorecard reaches the administration tent the score is considered final.
