Parking

Notice Regarding On-Site Parking

Four (4) parking passes will be made available to the coach of each team registered in the Tournament. We would ask the coach to communicate with team parents and encourage carpooling as much as possible using these passes. We will forward the parking passes prior to the tournament.
Cars without parking passes will be charged $5 to park at the Tournament Site. We would ask anyone without a pass to have $5 ready when they turn into the front gate.
We will have Parking Marshalls on site to check parking passes, collect the parking fee and to help identify parking spots.
We would ask anyone who parks on site to be courteous and park immediately adjacent to the next car so we can optimize the use of the parking slots that are available.
Cars that park along Line Road or that double park on the Tournament Site may be towed by the Willistown Township Police. Please do not park along Line Road.
There should be adequate parking for everyone this year.

Thanks for your attention and your anticipated assistance in connection with our effort to make the Tournament better for everyone.

Tournament Administration

Any questions or disputes will be discussed only by the team spokesman and the referee on the field. Disputes will not be heard after the game. The spirit of the game is the key to resolving disputes.

Warrior Liberty Lacrosse Shootout reserves the right to disqualify any team for infractions of the following policies:

Use of Illegal Players: The players listed on the roster at the time the entry form is submitted are the only players eligible to play.
False Information: Information provided to Warrior Liberty Lacrosse Shootout on your entry form is the basis for our division breakdowns. Any false information is grounds for disqualification.
Unnecessary vulgarity or abrasive conduct: Good sportsmanship if expected. Spirit of the game is expected as well. Warrior Liberty Lacrosse Shootout reserves the right to immediately terminate a game and/or escort a player, team or spectator from the premises.

Weather Policy

In the event of adverse weather or un-playable field conditions, the Warrior Liberty Lacrosse Shootout tournament director reserves the right to:

Reduce game times in order to catch up with schedule.
Finish game before inclement weather arrives, or to preserve field conditions.
Reschedule games, if possible
Convert the tournament to a 'Festival' format without playoffs or championships to enable the majority of the teams the opportunity to play as many games as possible.

Every attempt will be made to update cancellations on the website or on the answering machine at 410-667-ALOHA (2564). However, weather conditions can change rapidly and all teams should be prepared as soon as weather clears and fields are playable.

In the event of cancellation of the tournament due to weather conditions, each team will receive their player t-shirts and team registration packet. Weather refund policies are listed below.

All games canceled due to weather will be considered a 4-2 WIN for BOTH teams

Thunder/Lightning Policy

If thunder or lightning is observed at any location play will be suspended immediately and players and fans will be asked to leave the field. Play will be allowed to resume 20 m inutes after the last sound of thunder or sighting of lightning is observed. If a game is in progress, the period will end immediately. If it is the second half, the game will be considered final and the score at that point will be recorded. If it is the first half, when play resumes it will be the start of the second half. Every attempt will be made to begin subsequent games on time. If the start of the second half of the suspended game delays the onset of the subsequent game the following actions will occur:

The game suspended will play one 20 minute running time half.
Subsequent games will begin immediately after preceding games (warm up on the sidelines prior to the game). These games will consist of one 35 minute running time period until games are back on schedule. Teams will have one 30 second timeout each game, not to be used in the last two minutes.
Once games are back on schedule they will revert to two 20 minute running time periods.

We will make every effort to play every minute of every game but we will not jeopardize the safety of any player.

Weather Refund Policy

Under no circumstance will a team receive a full refund.
All teams will be charged for 18 Tournament t-shirts (18 x $15.00 = $240.00) and a $60.00 administrative fee. T-shirts will be available for pickup at the Registration tent during the tournament.
No refunds will be issued for games canceled for reasons other than weather (forfeit, no shows, etc.).
No refunds will be issued for games shortened due to weather.
If one game is canceled due to weather, there will be no refund.
If a second game is canceled due to weather, the team will receive a $150.00 refund.
If all three games are canceled due to weather, the team will receive a $300.00 total refund.
No refunds will be issued for playoff or championship games canceled due to weather.
Since teams register, and are paid for, under a lot of different names, teams will be required to complete a Weather Refund Request Form that will be available on the tournament website. This will indicate the team requesting the refund, to whom the check should be made payable and where the check should be mailed. No refunds will be issued if a Refund Request Form is not submitted within 30 days of the tournament.
