Welcome to The 2016 Trilogy Lacrosse Providence Tournament!
Thank you very much for choosing to attend the Trilogy Providence Tournament this July. We are

experience to your program and families. 2016 marks Trilogy Lacrosse’s twelfth summer running

Creating an optimal environment for our tournament both on and off the field is our number one priority.
In line with this mission, we will have members of our executive, operations, and sales & marketing team
on-site managing the event. The rest of our staff is selected based on their event experience and Trilogy
Lacrosse background. All have a passion for the game and want to see your families have an incredible
experience.
We are also very excited about the tournament sponsors and vendors supporting the event. Trilogy
Lacrosse branded Under Armour products will be available for sale and their line of equipment will be on
display. Games will be filmed and available for team or individual purchase through First Scout
Productions only in advance of the event. If interested, please secure as soon as possible. Additionally, we
are excited to have a centrally located vendor village area.
The tournament features reputable regional and national club programs and each team has been placed
within its bracket after collecting programs team placement information. The schedule has been
confirmed in advance of the tournament. We understand the importance of competitive balance; thus, we
perform the necessary due diligence in order for teams to be placed in accordance of their talent and goals
for the event.

Trilogy Providence Tournament Rules
Game Play
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Games start and end on one Central Horn, as does Half Time.
Games will run on fifty (50) minute blocks.
Playing time will consist of two (2) twenty (20) minute running halves with a three (3) minute halftime.
Teams will have zero (0) timeouts.
Tie Games at the end of regulation will immediately go into a two (2) minute sudden death overtime
beginning with a face-off unless either team ends game with possession in an extra man situation, in
which case they will receive the ball to start OT. If the game remains tied after the overtime period, a
1v1 Braveheart will immediately follow until a winner is determined.
*Alternate Game Length and Time Format
1. In the event of schedule delays caused by weather, which may include lightning, heavy rain, or extreme
heat, the tournament will go to an alternate schedule and shorten game length in the following options:
a. Forty (40) minute game blocks: two (2) sixteen (16) minute halves with a two (2) minute
halftime. For overtime: directly to Braveheart.
b. Thirty (30) minute game blocks: one (1) twenty-five (25) minute period with no halftime. For
overtime: directly to Braveheart.
*any schedule changes will be communicated via Tourney Machine
Game Rules
All games will be played under modified NFHS (Federation) Rules with the following modifications:
1. Man-up on Time served penalties. All penalties will be running time. The penalty clock will begin
when the official blows the whistle to restart play. Penalty time will be kept on the field by the
officials.
2. Substitutions will be on the fly only, except on a time serving penalty. For time serving penalties,
teams will be allowed a quick substitution to get EMO/EMD on the field.
3. There will be no stick checks unless requested by the opposing coach. If a requested stick is found to
be illegal, a sixty (60) second non-releasable penalty will be assessed. If the stick is found to be legal,
the challenging team will be assessed a 30-second releasable penalty. Coaches may request one (1)
stick check per game. No stick checks are permitted in the last ten minutes of regulation or overtime.
Sticks may meet either NCAA or NFHS standards.
4. Braveheart Rules:
• For a Braveheart, each team will send two (2) players, one of whom HAS to be a goalie. One
player from each team must always remain on the defensive half of the field.
5. Body checking will be called tightly in the interest of player safety. A one to three minute nonreleasable penalty will be called for any body check that is to the head and neck area, on a defenseless
player, a blindside hit, or deemed excessive. These penalties are unnecessary roughness and not in the
spirit of summer tournament play.
*No big body hits are allowed in the 2022 Divisions and younger.
6. Helmets required during pre-game warm-up and practice time:
• All players must properly wear the mandatory protective helmet when they are on the field or
engaging in warm-ups or any drills that involve passing, shooting or scrimmaging.
7
7. Clearing Count:
• A team has twenty (20) seconds to clear over the midline and ten (10) seconds to touch it into
the box. *The 2022 Division and younger will not have any clearing counts.
8. Keep It In:
• When there is less than two (2) minutes remaining in the game, if a team is in the lead then
they must get it in and keep it in the box.
9. Faceoffs:
• Same as NFHS; Players will go down and then the ball will be placed in the center.
10. Over and Back Rule:
• NFHS rules in place.
• *The 2022 Division and younger will not have any “Over and Back” Rule.
