Ties: 3-minute sudden-death overtime, except for the quarter-final and semi-final playoffs (overtime will stop after the 1-hour time limit; there will be a shootout). The finals will be played until a winner is decided within the 1.5 hours allowed, then a shootout.

Shootout: 3 from each side will go (home team first), and if a winner is not determined, sudden death (cannot repeat shooters until all runners have shot)

Note:

Players deemed by referees (or the organizing committee) as not trying to play lacrosse (acting dangerously, taking runs at players, intent to injure, fighting, etc.) or making a mockery of the game will be asked to leave the tournament immediately and suspended for all remaining games without appeal. Players and coaches can and will be disciplined further by NSSAF, SSNS, and LNS, etc., and all suspensions can and will be carried over to other Metro High School sports, LNS-sanctioned and MMLL league lacrosse events when warranted.
