Just because the MD, PA and MA folks choose to not enter teams because they know they can't win doesn't make the tournament not worth it. My nephew played in it and said it was the greatest experience of his lacrosse life. Like someone else said, they are treated like rock stars. The kids absolutely love it - win or lose. It is a once in a lifetime experience. It doesn't get any fairer than this tournament: kids playing each other that are the same age - doesn't matter if you were held back, started school late, or what grade you are in. The playing field is level - everyone is the SAME AGE. For you MD, PA and MA teams - get some balls and play. You're like 3 year olds: we can't win so we won't play, and then you bash the tournament? WEAK


You are funny! The "team" that won last year is not even a real team, they are middle of the road when the play their correct grade.
