JMJ TOURNAMENT RULES - 2015
1. Standard NYS Boy’s High School Lacrosse rules apply along with the following modifications listed below.
2. Format is 10 on 10 (3-3-3 + Goalie).
3. Each team will play 4 games. The winner of each section will be awarded a trophy based upon points.
a. Won-Loss Record
b. Head to Head Record
c. Goal Differential (Total All 4 Games – max 7 per game)
d. Goals Allowed (Total All 4 Games – lowest #)
e. Coin Toss
4. Each team must have an adult coach (21 years of age or older) who will be in charge of team discipline and act
as the team's representative.
5. Each game consists of two 12.5 minute running time periods. Time is kept by the referee on the field.
6. Penalties are called and served as they are in a regular field lacrosse game. The referee releases penalized
players when their serve time has expired. Penalty time does not start until the penalized player takes a knee, out of
bounds, at the midline, on the bench side of the field.
7. A game ending tied is decided by a single 4 minute sudden-death overtime, which begins immediately after
regulation time with a faceoff. If the game is still tied at the end of the sudden death overtime period, the game will
count in the standings as a tie.
8. Each period begins with a faceoff.
9. After a goal is scored the ball is awarded to the scored upon goalie who puts the ball in play from his crease
area. A referee must whistle to indicate play has recommenced. If a team falls behind by 6 or more goals, they are
awarded the ball at midfield after they've been scored upon.
10. All player substitutions are on the fly. Players must touch sticks at the intersection of the midline and the
sideline before entering the field of play.
11. Each team is allotted one timeout per half and one in overtime. Timeouts are one minute long.
12. Team members must wear matching jerseys or tank tops which are numbered.
13. ANY PLAYERS OR COACHES INVOLVED IN A FIGHT WILL BE EXPELLED FROM THE
TOURNAMENT. No second chances. The JMJ Tournament has ZERO tolerance for fighting.
14. Flagrant fouls: 1st offense - expulsion from game; 2nd offense (occurring anytime during tournament after first
offense) - expulsion from tournament. The certified referee will be the sole determinant as the whether a foul is
flagrant or not.
