Doesn't add up.

Maybe top twelve and three get a bye..



I'll type slowly for you. Go here - www.sectionxi.org - and click on "brackets" at the top, then select Girls Lacrosse from the drop down menu. Division I shows how it will work if there are 13 playoff teams. If there are only 12 teams, as some posters have stated, there is no A13 team and A4 slides forward to the next round (getting the 4th bye). For those who still don't understand, wait a couple more days and it will all be set.


Enjoyed your post!

With all the talk of how many teams make the bracket I'm surprised there has been no contact by Back of the Cage to clarify. The D1 coaches I spoke with all think its 13 yet some, who claim to have contacted Section XI, say it's 12. Yet the Section XI website has a 13 team bracket.

I guess we wait until later in the week when the bracket is posted. But why the mystery?
