Game Times: Games will start on the hour. Within 1-2 minutes of the top of the hour, headquarters will blow a
horn indicating that games should get started. Game clocks will be run at each field separately. Games are 20
minute running halves with maximum of 5 minute halftime. Each team is allotted one 60 second timeout per
half. Notwithstanding stoppages, games should take 45 minutes. The game clock will stop for timeouts and
injuries. At 50 minutes past the hour though, a double-horn will be blown from headquarters again. At that
time, any game still in progress is immediately over, regardless of how much time may be left on the game
clock at the field. Ties will finish as ties - no tie breakers will be played.
Field Diagram: Please refer to the attached field diagram in order to identify the specific field locations and
how you can get to them. Ackerman Middle School and Lee Elementary are on the same campus and the
fields are shared between the schools. All games will be held at the Lee/Ackerman fields. Please bring your
own portable seating. Teams are welcome to set up tents/tables as a team area.
Parking: There is limited parking. In fact, there are even less than before. You might suggest to your players
and families that carpooling as much as possible would be most wise. Please park legally and be considerate
of the homeowners in the area.
Concessions: Don’t forget that we will have concessions on-site (hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, soda, water,
sports drinks, candy, and such). All proceeds of that go directly to our program. Your patronage is most
appreciated. Credit/debit cards will be accepted. This year we will have Kona Ice and a Coffee Truck as well.
Barbecues: Due to school district guidelines, we cannot allow barbecues on-site. Sorry...
Dogs: While we enjoy dogs ourselves, the temptation of balls all over and the sheer number of people at our
event compel us to ask everyone to keep your pets at home. Also, Canby School District has a no pet
policy on all their fields during events, primarily for safety and hygiene reasons.
Fastest Shot: Tickets will be sold at our concession stand for players to take a turn at our fastest shot
station...how fast can you shoot?
Flying Balls: With so many games going on and so many young lacrosse players playing catch, everyone
needs to be on “high alert” for lacrosse balls flying around.
Positive/Supportive Attitudes: Lastly, while everyone recognizes the spirit of competition that will be in the
air, please help us to set a positive and supportive tone for everyone involved – players, coaches, refs,
parents, volunteers, vendors, and everyone else. With no intention to preach, please consider these things
that we tell our teams:
- Please be positive at all times. Smile a lot, laugh some, enjoy it all!!
- Please clean up areas/spaces that you use.
- Don't get too caught up in the officials; they are trying their best.
**Note that this is not a bracketed tournament-This is a chance to play 3 games in one day and generally enjoy an atmosphere full of lacrosse.
Hot Tees will be there with Official Canby Jam Apparel!
