Any effort to circumvent the spirit and/or intent of the Rules & Guidelines may result in the disqualification of the affected club, team, and/or player(s) from any current or future DLC Sports, Inc. events.

Special attention will be paid to any infractions / violations of the Eligibility for Participation requirements.  The Administrator and/or Coach of each club / team, by registering their respective team(s) for the Night Fall Lacrosse Classic, certifies that the credentials of each player on the roster complies with age, roster, and other requirements as it relates to player assignments and that each player has completed and signed the player waiver for each event.  Coaches/Administrators may be asked by League or Tournament officials to further certify and/or verify player roster assignments and age compliance at any time prior to or during the event.  Violations of the Eligibility for Participation requirements will not be tolerated. 

Tournament fees will not be refunded to any club / team /player disqualified from an event.

We regularly monitor the eligibility rules of US Lacrosse, the governing body for the sport in the United States, and other similarly organized and operated tournament events, and seek to synchronize our Rules & Guidelines with these organizations wherever and whenever possible.  However, we reserve the right to set, establish and promulgate rules which ensure the most fair, equitable, and safe competitive environment possible.
