2024 Victory Event Series Boys Tournament Rules of Play and Guidelines

*Not for Liberty National Elite Classic

Rules subject to change due to COVID-19 policies/orders.

Roster Notes

All Players and Parents/Guardians must complete the online player waiver prior to participation.

NO player may compete or be rostered on more than one CLUB OR TEAM during the tournament. Each player may be submitted on ONLY ONE roster for the tournament. If teams are found in violation of this rule, their games will be disqualified and deemed a loss. This rule is designed to ensure athletes are not playing an excessive number of games over the weekend and to ensure fairness across all teams. For the purposes of group seeding, one of two scenarios will occur:

In the event the team in violation loses, the official game score will reflect actual score of the game.
In the event the team in violation won or tied the game, the official game score will be changed to reflect a 4-0 loss for the team in violation.

No athlete is permitted to participate at a grade level younger than their graduation year.

Summer 2024 COVID Roster Exception: Up to three 2024 high school graduates may compete on a 2024 team roster with the approval of the tournament director. If a team needs to roster a 2024, they must seek permission from the tournament director before June 1. This should only be done if a 2024 team needs to supplement its roster.
 

Field Size

All fields will be regulation size whenever possible. If the field is not regulation size, both teams will be notified by officials prior to the beginning of play.

Boys Faceoffs

All players must stand for the faceoff position.
All fingers shall be wrapped around the crosse with the hand closer to the throat of the head in a palm-up position (no motorcycle grip allowed).

Crosse head and gloved hands shall be touching the ground.
Faceoff players must play the ball first.
Wing players must avoid checking the faceoff players battling while down in a defenseless position for control of the ball in the initial faceoff spot.

Game Format/Rules

All games will start promptly at the assigned times.
Two, 22-minute running halves; teams change direction after the half.
Halftime will be two (2) minutes, running clock.

Continuous Clock, which will be kept by the field coordinator and communicated to the referees. In case of an injury in the final two minutes of the second half, referee will stop the clock and work with the field marshal/Director on correct time of the game when the game is restarted.

One 30 second timeout per game per team. Clock does not stop; therefore timeouts cannot be called in the last four (4) minutes of the game. Penalty time does stop during a timeout.

Only three (3) coaches are permitted on the sidelines during the game.

Referees can stop the game for any reason that he/she feels fit. Examples include serious injury, weather, etc.
Time Serving Penalties – Penalty time will be kept by the field coordinator. Penalty time served is time and a half. Penalty time stops on all timeouts.

The official score will be kept by both the table staff and one of the game officials. The staff and referee will confer throughout the game and stoppages to ensure the correct score. Coaches are to sign the score sheet following the game.

All substitutions are on the fly.

Limited body-checking, excessively big hits and physical play (even within five yards of a loose ball) constitute unnecessary roughness and will result in a 1-minute penalty. The Tournament Directors and Staff consider the safety of each player our first priority and we expect coaches and players to understand and abide by this philosophy as well. The officials are expected to protect and promote the safety of all players.

If a sidelined player(s) leaves his/her team bench to engage in an on-field altercation, that player will be removed from the tournament and their team may have to forfeit.

Player(s) who engage in antagonistic behavior (verbal assault, fighting etc.) may be removed from games or suspended from the tournament.

Officials and Tournament Directors have final say on interpretations and rulings.
