LEAGUE RULES

General Rules for Men and Women: The Surf N Turf Tournament will adhere to Club and a version of
NCAA Rules. Players are required to use their best judgment during play with regards to checking and
physical contact. Intentional bodily harm and violence will not be tolerated and may result in immediate
ejection from the tournament. Flagrant use of force and intent to injure will not be tolerated. Players failing
to adhere to this policy will be penalized and face possible expulsion from the SNTT.

All players including goalie must wear team issued jersey, any player failing to do so will be asked to leave
the field. If the player does not leave the field immediately a one minute non releasable delay of game
penalty will be called.

All teams must have a minimum of 8 players to avoid a forfeit. If a team cannot field a goalie for a
scheduled game, the team will be permitted to use a substitute.
In case of a forfeit, team with most players will win, goals will be added up and divided by the amount of
games played for an average. That score will be recorded for the game.

Winning teams Captain are responsible for reporting scores to the registration/check in table.
This should be done after the game. Any dispute in scores, score recorded by officials and SNT staff
members at the field will be used.

Women's Rules:

All games are 12 vs 12 format.

30 yard line restraining rule is in effect 4 players must stay back at all times.

When a whistle blows, all players must stop in place. When a ball is ruled out of play, the player closest to
the ball gets possession when play is resumed. Loss of possession may occur if a player deliberately runs or
throws the ball out of play.

Field players may pass, catch or run with the ball in their crosse. A player may gain possession of the ball by
dislodging it from an opponent's crosse with a check. A check is a controlled tap with a crosse on an
opponent's crosse in an attempt to knock the ball free.

The player must be one step in front of her opponent in order to check. No player may reach across an
opponent's body to check the handle of a crosse when she is even with or behind that opponent. A player
may not protect the ball in her crosse by cradling so close to her body or face so as to make a legal, safe
check impossible for the opponent.

All legal checks must be directed away from a seven-inch sphere or ""bubble"" around the head of the
player. No player is allowed to touch the ball with her hands except the goalkeeper when she is within the
goal circle. A change of possession may occur if a player gains a distinct advantage by playing the ball off
her body. Rough checks, and contact to the body with the crosse or body, are not allowed.

Fouls are categorized as major or minor, and the penalty for fouls is a free position. For major fouls, the
offending player is placed four meters behind the player taking the free position. For a minor foul, the
offending player is placed four meters off, in the direction from which she approached her opponent before
committing the foul, and play is resumed. When a minor foul is committed in the critical scoring area, the
player with the ball has an indirect free position, in which case the player must pass first.

A slow whistle occurs when the offense has entered the critical scoring area and the defense has committed
a major foul. A flag is thrown but no whistle is sounded so that the offense has an opportunity to score a
goal. A whistle is blown when a goal is scored or the scoring opportunity is over. An immediate whistle is
blown when a major foul, obstruction or shooting space occurs, which jeopardizes the safety of a player.
All players are asked to wear but not made to wear all required equipment as stated by NCAA Lacrosse
Rules. Unless under the age of 21. Goggles/Eye Protection is optional. If under the age of 21 goggles are
mandatory. All goalies must be equipped with all required padding no exceptions.

All teams must have a minimum of 8 players to avoid a forfeit. If a team cannot field a goalie for a
scheduled game, the team will be permitted to use a substitute. However, the substitute goalie must be a
registered player.

All games will consist of two 25 minute, running halves. Five minute break for halftime.
Only "on the fly" substitutions are permitted.

Each team will be awarded 1 timeout per half (timeout can not be used with under two minutes left in
game). If a game ends in a tie, there will be no overtime both teams will be awarded a tie for the game.
Finals on Sunday will be 10 minute sudden death and will play until a winner is declared.
