No player 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.

 

Proof of Age

Falsifying Ages

The Event Director may dismiss any player or disqualify any team from the tournament and potentially future events if any player or coach determined by the Event Director to have falsified age or identity where applicable. This act of non-sportsmanship will not be tolerated by Halo Lax Events LLC.

 

Protests

Any team wishing to Protest the Roster or players on a roster may do so by submitting a $50 Roster Protest Fee and completing a Roster Protest Form. After receiving the $50 Roster Protest Fee and Roster Protest Form, and when available, the Event Director will verify each player of the team by confirming the Official Team Roster and each player’s Proof of Age documentation. A game in progress will not be interrupted for this process. Any team violating the requirements for the Official Team Roster Form, Player Registration and or Proof of Age when protested will be disqualified from the event and all games players will be forfeited.

Sportsmanship

We love a good game and sportsmanship! Respect the game. Sportsmanship and the concepts of fair and honorable play are essential to the overall success of the Tournament. Do not approach the game officials before or after a game. Enjoy the games and shout encouraging words!

  • Players, coaches, officials, parents and spectators are to conduct themselves in a manner that “Honors the Game,” demonstrates respect for others and is consistent with the businesslike operation of the Tournament for the benefit of everyone involved.
  • The emphasis on winning should never be placed above the value of good sportsmanship, the concepts of fair and honorable play, or the spirit of the game.
  • Poor sportsmanship, taunting, trash talking, fighting or other unbecoming behavior on the part of players, coaches, parents or spectators will not be tolerated.
  • Unsportsmanlike conduct will minimally result in a 1-minute non-releasable penalty, but officials are authorized to handle such conduct in their reasonable judgment based on the circumstances, including ending the game (which will be treated as a forfeit by each team regardless of “who did what”). Poor sportsmanship may also result in ejectment from the game or the facility.
  • Only head coaches are permitted to address the officials; coaches are expected to do so in a courteous manner during the game. Adults involved with the game are not permitted to openly or maliciously criticize, badger, harass, or threaten an official. Derogatory comments are unacceptable and subject to discipline, including ejectment.
  • Officials are expected to conduct themselves as professionals and in a manner that demonstrates courtesy and fairness to all parties while exercising their authority on the field.
  • Eligibility requirements, such as age/grade must be followed. They have been established to encourage and maximize participation, as well as promote safety. The Tournament relies on the good faith of coaches and players as well as their representations regarding age during the registration process.
  • The Tournament expects all coaches to understand the rules of the Tournament and communicate them to members of the team.
  • Head coaches may report any issues regarding officials and/or other teams to a field marshal, Tournament event director or their representatives at Tournament headquarter Tent. The Tournament will use its reasonable efforts to address any concerns with such officials, the field managers, the Assigning Official(s) and/or such coaches, as appropriate in their discretion.
  • Tournament directors reserve the right to adopt and implement such other rules or regulations as it determines are necessary or appropriate to further the goals and objectives of the Tournament.

 

Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Policy and Corrective Action Plan

Our tournament prohibits and will not tolerate acts of harassment, discrimination and bullying. Harassment, discrimination or bullying of any gesture, any written, verbal or physical act, or any electronic communication, whether it be a single incident or a series of incidents that:

  1. Are reasonably perceived as being motivated by either any actual or perceived characteristic, such as race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or a mental, physical or sensory disability.
  2. Takes place in relation to any program function or team; and that a reasonable person should know, under the circumstances, will have the effect of physically or emotionally harming a player or damaging the player’s property, or placing a player in reasonable fear of physical or emotional harm to his/her person or damage to his/her property.
  3. Has the effect of insulting or demeaning any player or group of players or creates a hostile environment for the player by interfering with a player’s participation or by severely or pervasively causing physical or emotional harm to the player. (N.J.S.L 18A:37-14)

Any participant, coach, staff member, fan or volunteer may file a grievance when necessary. All grievances should be written and directed through the following sequence of authorities:

 

Corrective Action Plan for Tournament Participants

  • If a coach, parent or official is notified of participant misconduct, they should report the allegation in writing as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours after the incident to the Tournament Director. Complaints may also be made in person during the event but should also be documented in writing after the initial complaint has been made. If a coach or official does not report an infraction to the Tournament Director within 24 hours of receiving a complaint, they are subject to disciplinary action which may include suspension or expulsion.
  • The Tournament Director will gather all pertinent information in a fair, respectful and confidential manner regarding the alleged harassment, discrimination or bullying and review with both the accuser and the accused as soon as possible.
  • After an investigation is conducted, the Tournament Director will evaluate all findings and bring a final resolution to all parties involved. Participants who are found guilty of violating the anti-harassment and discrimination policy will be subject to disciplinary action. All participants that are found guilty of major infractions (violence, racist, homophobic or sexist slurs etc.) will be expulsed immediately at the first infraction with no consideration for review.
  • If no resolution is found, an additional ethics complaint may be filed with the US Lacrosse Ethics Advisory Subcommittee here. The USL EAS seeks to develop resources and standards for the national lacrosse community, as well as investigate and manage ethical issues that arise within the organization. NOTE: All prior steps must be taken before submitting an ethics complaint with US Lacrosse. Complaints that do not adhere to this process, will not be considered.

 

For violations of the Code of Conduct, Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Policy or expectations, these steps will be followed:

STEP 1 – GAME SUSPENSION. The Tournament Director will discuss undesirable conduct with the accuser and stress that this behavior will not be tolerated. The Tournament Director will suspend the offending player for a certain number of games depending on the severity of the incident*. The team coach and the Tournament Director must meet to discuss expected conduct before the player can resume playing. The player will be warned that the next offense will result in his/her expulsion from the event or tournament.

STEP 2 – TOURNAMENT EXPULSION. The participant on the 2nd offense will be expelled from the event and no refund will be given. The Tournament Director will also document this disciplinary action in writing and forward the incident to the Team or Program Director within 24 hours of the incident.

*These guidelines are not absolute in dealing with behavioral problems. Severe situations could merit harsher sanctions against participants and could result in immediate game suspension or expulsion. All participants that are found guilty of major infractions (violence, racist, homophobic or sexist slurs etc.) will be expulsed immediately at the first infraction with no consideration for review.

 

Corrective Action Policy for Parents and Adults

Family involvement is vital to the development of young athletes. Whether sitting in the stands, or helping as a volunteer, we want our families to set a positive example. Parents and adults who do not follow the Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Policy will be subject to a Corrective Action Plan. Any parent or adult may file a grievance when necessary. All grievances should be written and directed through the following sequence of authorities:

  • If a parent, coach, staff member, volunteer, official or fan is the victim of harassment, discrimination or bullying, the victim must report the allegation in writing within 24 hours to the Tournament Director. Complaints may also be made in person during the event but should be documented in writing after the initial complaint has been made. If a coach or official does not report an infraction to the Tournament Director within 24 hours of receiving a complaint, they are subject to disciplinary action which may include suspension or expulsion.
  • The Tournament Director will gather all pertinent information in a fair, respectful and confidential manner regarding the alleged harassment, discrimination or bullying and review with both the accuser and the accused as soon as possible.
  • After an investigation is conducted, the Tournament Director will evaluate all findings and bring a final resolution to all parties. Those who are found guilty of violating the anti-harassment and discrimination policy will be subject to disciplinary action. All parties that are found guilty of major infractions (violence, racist, homophobic or sexist slurs, etc.) will be expulsed immediately at the first infraction with no consideration for review.



For adult violations of the Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Policy, the following steps will be taken:

STEP 1 – VERBAL WARNING. The Tournament Director will discuss undesirable conduct with the accused and stress that this behavior will not be tolerated. The next offense will lead to the accused being banned from all tournament events.

STEP 2– TOURNAMENT EXPULSION. The accused will be banned from attending all contests after a 2nd offense. The Tournament Director will also document expulsion details in writing and forward the incident to the Team or Program Director within 24 hours of the incident.

*These guidelines are not absolute in dealing with behavioral problems. Severe situations could merit harsher sanctions or immediate expulsion. All parties that are found guilty of major infractions (violence, racist, homophobic or sexist slurs, etc.) will be expulsed immediately at the first infraction with no consideration for review. If warranted, a police report may be required or strongly recommended.

General

  • US Lacrosse rules apply for all youth divisions
  • National Federation High School Rules apply for all middle and high school brackets, except as modified
  • NCAA Rules apply for all collegiate and adult brackets High school bracket rules may be modified to include NCAA Rules

 

Unnecessary Roughness

  • Big hits and overly physical play (even within 3 yards from a loose ball), as well as excessive force, roughness, checking or hitting off the ball or any hits described above, constitutes unnecessary and will result in either a 1-minute to 3-minute penalty in the discretion of the official(s), and may be made non-releasable in the judgment of the official(s).

 

U9 Boys Rules

  • No body checking; no one-handed checks
  • Man-Up/Down – Player serves all penalties, team does not (i.e., penalized player comes off the field and switches with another). Ball is awarded to non-penalized team and player with ball will enjoy a 5-yard advantage relative to his cover man at the mid-line or wherever the official restarts play.
  • Ball is hot at all times (no minimum number of passes)
  • Advancement/Stalling Rule – does not apply, but see “advance the ball” command by an official
  • no sticks longer than 40 inches (unless both coaches agree)
  • Advancement/stalling rules do not apply at this level, but officials can command a team to “advance the ball” within 5 seconds

 

U11 Boys Rules

  • Advancement/Stalling Rule – does not apply, but see “advance the ball” command by an official
  • no sticks longer than 52 inches (unless both coaches agree)

Rules

  • Game Time: Games/halves/periods start and stop on a central horn
    • Running time clock
    • Two 20-minute running time periods
    • 3-minute halftime
    • Each team receives one 30-second time out per half (clock continues to run)
    • Timeouts cannot be taken in the final two 2-minutes of each half
  • Substitution: No horns. Player substitution will be on the “fly”. Players must enter and exit the playing field through the designated box
Officials will keep score on each field during the game, to confirm scores with opposing coaches, and to report scores to the Field Marshall and or tent following the games.

Rankings and Pool Play Seeding

  • National Rankings and points will be used to seed the National Championship Brackets and Pools, but Rankings will not necessarily be used to seed the Regional Event Brackets and Pools.
  • Championship Bracket seeding for each team will be determined by Win/Loss record. A forfeited game is scored as 6-0 win for the team that is present. Any team that forfeits a game during the tournament will be ineligible to compete in any playoff games. Referees will provide the winning coach a scorecard, which must be turned into the Headquarter Tent immediately following the game. For games where the score card is not returned to the Headquarters Tent, a verbally communicated score will be accepted until the score card can be produced.
  • Tie-Breakers: When two teams from one Pool are tied in record following Pool Play games, the team that won the game in Head to Head competition will be the higher seed. For teams that are tied in record, if one team forfeited a game, they will automatically be considered the lower seed (unless otherwise decided by a tournament official). When three or more teams from one pool are tied in record following Pool Play games, ties between the three or more teams will be broken by the following:
  1. Head to head results between the tied teams
  2. Goal difference in head to head games
  3. Goals against in head to head games
  4. Goal difference in pool play games
  5. Goals against in pool play games
  6. Coin flip or Braveheart 

The scheduling committee may adjust seeding to avoid a first-round game between two teams from the same pool.

Concussion Awareness and Injury Prevention

A concussion is a serious injury and should not be taken lightly. It is a type of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, that can be caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head that can change the way your brain normally works. They can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head to move rapidly. Even a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious. Unfortunately, concussions can be difficult to diagnose, in part because the symptoms can be subtle and may not show up for hours or even days. For these reasons, it is important that parents, coaches and athletes take time to understand what concussions are and their potential consequences, recognize concussion signs and symptoms, know how to respond, and learn the steps for returning to activity after a concussion. If you suspect an athlete has a concussion, keep the athlete out of play (“when in doubt, keep them out”). The athlete must be evaluated by a health care professional experienced in evaluating concussions to assess the severity of the concussion, the path to recovery and the steps to return to play.

  • All Coaches are required to sit a player out for the remainder of a game if the player sustains a blow to the head or a jarring collision that causes the coach or the trainer to suspect a possible mild or traumatic brain injury.
  • The coach is required to notify the trainers regarding any such incident to permit assessment by a trained professional.
  • If a coach or trainer suspects a concussion and requires a player to sit out, that player will not be allowed to return to play in the tournament without written clearance from a medical professional.

 

Avoid Heat Related Illness

As a reminder, coaches should communicate with all players, parents and others associated with the team to take precautions to avoid the risk of heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke, particularly in hot and humid weather. We would defer to medical journals for a more complete discussion on heat-related illnesses, but there are a few things to remember and a few precautions to take:

  • Break up exposure to hot temperatures; cool off after physical exertion

    • Find shade areas under trees, tents and umbrellas
    • Limit physical exertion
    • Wear loose fitting clothing
    • Cool off in the comfort of an air-conditioned car from time to time
    • Put cool, wet towels, bandannas or compresses on the shoulders or head

  • Avoid dehydration – plan ahead and drink extra water to replace fluid loss.

    • Players should hydrate themselves prior to the event
    • Players should replace fluids at a rate that equals the loss of water from sweating (teams should plan to have their own water. The Tournament will endeavor to provide water coolers and/or ice on the fields.
    • Replace electrolytes by eating a small amount of food with your water or by drinking specially-formulated electrolyte replacement drinks  
    • Increase salt intake

  • Thirst is the first sign of dehydration; players should drink sufficient amounts of fluids before they feel thirsty in order to prevent dehydration
    Signs of heat-related syndromes can appear suddenly. They include:

    • Heat cramps
    • Headache
    • Fatigue
    • Feeling faint or dizzy
    • Heavy sweating
    • Nausea
    • Rapid, weak heartbeat
    • Low blood pressure
    • Cool, moist, pale skin
    • Low-grade fever
    • Heat cramps
    • Dark-colored urine

  •  
  • If you suspect heat exhaustion:

    • Seek out the nearest Tournament Athletic Trainer.  
    • Get the person out of the sun and into a shady or air-conditioned location (such as a car)
    • Lay the person down and elevate the legs and feet slightly
    • Loosen or remove the person’s clothing
    • Have the person drink cool water or other nonalcoholic beverage without caffeine
    • Cool the person by spraying or sponging him or her with cool water and fanning
    • Monitor the person carefully. Heat exhaustion can quickly become heatstroke
    • If fever greater than 102° F (38.9° C), fainting, confusion or seizures occur, call 911 for emergency medical help

Types of Weather Emergency

  • Lightning & Threatening Storm Conditions
  • Tornado
