Rules: G8 will follow all US Lacrosse & NFHS Rules as it pertains to each age level with the following tournament specific modifications:

THE DRAW

The game will start with a coin toss between the officials and a coach from each time (maintaining 6 feet of distance between all parties). Team listed second on the schedule, makes the call of Heads or Tails on the coin toss. The winner of the coin toss selects: possession to start the game/possession to start the second half OR direction. The non-winning coach selects what the winning coach did not.

POSSESSION after a goal
We will not take traditional draws. The GK will use her stick to retrieve the ball from the back of the net and roll it back to center (may be relayed back, but all players use a stick, not a hand to advance the ball). The center, from the team that did not score, will start with the ball on the center line and the defense may be 4M away in any direction. The official will whistle to indicate the restart, once both teams are set up. The line up may be 4D, 3M, 4A but teams may adjust to 5D, 3M, 3A or 3D, 3M, 5A. But no greater line up adjustments may be made.
There are NO timeouts

During an injury timeout, clock will run.

You're kidding me?

8-meter shots will be played out if the horn sounds for the end of the game or half. If the 8-meter free position is already in play when the game horn sounds, then the game is done at the time of the horn; if ball crosses the goal line after the game horn sounds, the ruling is NO GOAL (same as USL.)

Alternate possession – The team listed first on the schedule receives the first alternate possession. After the initial possession is awarded, the possession will then alternate.

1 Yellow card – the player must sit for 2 minutes, running clock, the official will keep time.
2 Yellow cards – the player must sit the remainder of the game. And may return to the next game.
RED card (Player) – The player must sit the remainder of the game and the NEXT game.
RED card (Coach) – the coach must leave the game and remain away from the game until the completion of the game.

Scorekeeping:

Scores will NOT be kept.

There will be a flip chart and score sheet on all fields.

Officials will record the scores and coaches will sign off on them.

Coaches are responsible for changing the flip charts. All official scores will be kept at tournament headquarters.

Inclement Weather Policy:

Inclement weather is out of the control of tournament directors, officials and site managers. Safety is our number one concern. In the event of thunder and/or lightening, all games will be suspended for 30 minutes from the last occurrence. Games will resume at their regularly scheduled time. No games will be made up or delayed.

The tournament will be held in the rain. In the event of heavy rain, it is up to the tournament directors, officials and site managers as to whether the field(s) is/are deemed safe to play on.
