Florida United Lacrosse Cup Series
|
This series is a
first-of-its-kind tournament event unlike any other offered in the
United States. Created in 2009, the concept takes lacrosse competition
to an entirely new level by providing skilled lacrosse players an
opportunity to compete in a state-wide series of high-quality
off-season lacrosse tournaments.
Each tournament is organized to
provide safe, efficient, and intense, high-level competition.
High-visibility is also assured as many college coaches have already
recognized the dynamic recruiting opportunities created by attending
these coordinated tournaments.
Every tournament in the series has its own distinctive on-line
presence leveraged by a one-time team/player registration process that
can be applied to all future tournaments in the series. Each
tournament web-site also provides real-time schedules by division,
time, and field. Playoff round seeding and scheduling is updated in
real-time with schedules available on-line throughout the tournament.
Tournament formats are standardized across the entire series and,
therefore, enable true event-to-event comparisons.
Team results are compiled and maintained over the course of the
season and used to seed teams for future tournaments including an
end-of-the-year championship tournament event held each November.
Player statistics are compiled by team, division, and position and are
available on-line to college coaches and recruiters interested in
monitoring and analyzing individual player performance and statistics
over time.
