Registration Information: Your team DOES NOT need to register for this tournament. By playing in the CYLA spring 2012 season, your team is automatically placed into the tournament. It is required, however, that each and every player complete a waiver to participate in the state tournament. Go to the NDP website at
www.ndplacrosse.com for more detailed information.

Note: This waiver is different and seperate from any waiver you may signed on behalf of you child during the registration period prior to the 2012 season and is MANDATORY for participation in the state tournament.

Tournament Seeding & Brackets: Teams will be seeded for the tournament based on regular season results. The CYLA will assign seeds to teams according to league policies and will provide the seedings to NDP Lacrosse for bracket placement. Please direct all questions regarding seeding to CYLA leadership.

Tournament Format: Each team will play at least 2 games over the course of the tournament weekend. At the start of the tournament, every team will be placed into the "Championship Bracket" in its respective division so that every team, regardless of regular season results, will still have a chance to make a run at the state championship. Winners in the first round will continue on in the Championship Bracket while losers in the first round will drop to a consolation bracket for at least one more game.

Note: We are making every effort to schedule games so that teams can complete all games in one tournament day. We know that it is a long drive for many of you to reach Dick's Sporting Goods Park and we are taking that into account. We can't promise that this will be the case for everyone but we will try our best to get as many teams as possible in and out in one day.
