2023 Raider Rumble Rules

Hello coaches. It is time for Alpharetta High School’s seventh annual Raider Rumble Lacrosse

Tournament. This document contains important information about the logistics and rules for the

tournament. Please distribute this information document to all players and parents.

Address

Alpharetta High School is located at 3595 Webb Bridge Road Alpharetta, GA 30005.

All games will be played on either the stadium field or the practice field, which is

located one level above the stadium field and it is a grass field. We encourage fans to bring a chair

Admission Fees and Information

This tournament is a GHSA sanctioned event. As such, there are mandatory gate fees for BOTH fields.

Admission includes access to all games both on Friday and Saturday. A wristband system will be used for

admission and readmission to the tournament. Each paid entry receives one wristband as proof of

purchase. Fans must wear the wristband. If a fan loses the wristband, the fan will need to purchase

another wristband. Prices are as follows and admission is:

• Adults and students – $10

• Children 5 and Under – Free

• Coaches – Free and limited to three per program

WE WILL NOT BE USING GO FAN. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE TICKETS ON GO FAN.

We will have an information desk located in the breeze-way near the concession stand. Also, Raider Staff

wearing Raider Rumble t-shirts will be walking around to answer any questions you or any visitors

might have. Additionally, a medical trainer will be on site for any medical needs.

The grass field has limited seating.

Weather can be very unpredictable in April – we recommend that each team bring a tent to set up around

the field/track so your team can have shade or cover.

Schedule

We will use Tourney Machine for updates, announcements and score updates. Tourney Machine can be

downloaded from the App store. We expect the schedule to be loaded into Tourney Machine one week

prior to the tournament. In the meantime, attached is the current schedule with games times and field

locations.

We have 24 teams and each team is guaranteed three games. We have three brackets – the Captain Hook bracket, the Jack Sparrow bracket and the Black Beard bracket. Each bracket will have a champion. Creekview is in the Black Beard Bracket.

Concessions and Coolers

Full concessions will be provided. As a result, there is a strict policy of one cooler per team. Coolers will

be checked at the admission gate and once a team is recorded as having brought in a cooler, no additional

cooler for that team will be permitted. Please make sure parents understand this policy.

Concessions will be available in the concession stand located in the main stadium. Breakfast will be

served in the morning. Hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, chips, snacks and beverages will be served Friday

evening and all day Saturday. Credit cards are accepted at the concession stand.

The following rules will be in place for the tournament:

• Regular Game Times – regular games are two (2), 20 minute halves with a running clock. Half

time is four (4) minutes. The clock never stops.

• Championship Game Times – championship games are two (2), 20 minute halves with a running

a timeout. No timeouts are allowed within the last three (3) minutes of each half.

• Overtime – if a game ends in a tie, a Braveheart will be used to determine the winning team. The

Braveheart will consist of two (2) field players per team and one goalie per team. The first team to

In case of inclement weather, game times may be adjusted to ensure completion of the tournament.
