These aren't tournaments. They are play dates. The refs are awful with no concept of any rule modifications - the rules change depending upon what half of the field you're on. There's no interaction betw. games, no vendors, just run back to your car's A/C. Late August is for Beach Days and Pool Parties - not padding pockets of Travel Lacrosse Directors.

Because the parents allow it. Don't you love it when you hear the parents say, "my kid wants to go," shut up already. What a bunch of lies.
