 Indoor Tournament Rules
Article by: Director
Posted on : 2009-12-24
Limited Body Contact: Players must always play the ball, period. No hitting at all!!! Equal pressure is allowed while playing defense, and appropriate physical play is allowed to stop an attacker from advancing to the cage. This does not include overly aggressive collisions with the “intent to hit”. Good defensive and athletic positioning is allowed. No Hitting.
Short Sticks Only: NCAA Stick Rules Apply. Each teamis allowed 1 stick check, after that if the stick is not illegal, the team is charged a TO. If the stick is found illegal immediately after a goal, the goal is removed. Further stick checks result in personal fouls. Once a stick is deemed illegal, for any reason, it stays at the scorers table for the duration of that game, no exceptions.
One Handed Checks are Strongly Discouraged!!! Most will result in a flag.
Tournament officials and organizers have final say in all rule interpretations.
- Everyone must wear mouthpieces!
- 1 – 30 second Timeout (TO) per game, per team.
- Six players and one goalie on the field at a time.
- One player must stay back in the defensive zone (generally the goalie)
- 10 Second Clearing Rule: Defensive team has 10 seconds to clear the ball from the defensive zone, failing to do so results in a turnover. (Rule does not apply during man-down)
- Back Court Rule: (similar to basketball); does not apply to shots.
- 4 Goal Rule: Team down by 4 or more goals gets the ball back at midfield after scoring. NO 4-goal rule in the playoffs.
- All subbing done on the fly. Players must touch the boards to release the subbing player. Subbing early for offensive advantage will result in a change of possession.
- NO BOARDING! There is a one-yard zone around the outside of the field where the officials will call things very closely.
- ABSOLUTELY NO FIGHTING! Fighting will lead to expulsion from tournament play without refund.
The intent of all of the rules is to keep our athletes safe, while promoting athletic and effective play, the highest level ofsportsmanship, and advance the skill and athletic level of all our athletes as lacrosse players.
