Rules - Field Lacrosse

• There will be a four (4) minute overtime with the clock stopping after every dead ball under one (1) minute. 
• If further overtimes are necessary, a one (1) minute overtime will ensue with the same format until a winner is determined. All player fouls will carry over from the entire game. It is golden goal (first goal wins)

Timeouts: Each team is granted one (1) 30 second timeout per game. The game clock will stop for charged timeouts. Timeouts MUST be called by a player on the field. Unused timeouts do NOT carry over. 

Ringers / Substitute Players are NOT permitted in playoffs. If a team is deemed to have players that are not on their official roster during playoffs, the game will be considered default for the accused team. Teams can request an ID check of a player to confirm that player is on their opponent’s registered LUG roster. If a request is made, it must be done either before the game, during the game, or within 10 minutes after the game has ended. After this time, it is no longer valid.

Punishment for using illegal players may include but is not limited to one or more of the following; suspension of the player(s), removal of any goals scored or assisted goals, forfeit of the game, suspension of the Captain of record, and turning over of the final game score. Ultimately, it is up to the league to make the final discretionary judgement call on how to rule it. 

Teams are given LUG jerseys for the season. All players must update their player number on their HockeyShift profile in order to receive stats for their games. Click here for information on how to update your jersey number.
