Club Lacrosse Tournament Directors: Weekend Operations Handbook

#Club Lacrosse#Tournament Operations#Travel Lacrosse#Brackets

Club lacrosse is a Friday-Sunday weekend sport at scale — Friday night showcases, Saturday pool play, Sunday brackets and finals. Here's what top directors lock before Friday evening.

Pre-weekend checklist

  • Fields tagged by size and lighting
  • Officials contracted and confirmed
  • Fee collection closed Thursday at midnight
  • Team roster locks published Friday morning
  • Weather plan in writing

College recruiting integration

Many club tournaments host college coaches. Publish rosters with profile links and jersey numbers so scouts can track players across games.

Championship Sunday

Brackets auto-seed Saturday night. SMS fires Sunday morning with matchup times. Scoreboards update live through captain entry. You stay in the operations room, not the parking lot.
