THE CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT
A Note on Scheduling: The Charlotte Fall Classic is committed to a first-class lacrosse experience for players, coaches, and families. The organizers of the event have been running, coaching, and playing in lacrosse tournaments for more than 20 years. It is our first goal for you to play as many different teams from as many different areas as possible at our events.  

Teams play for a championship in all divisions. Games consist of four, twelve-minute running quarters.
Weather permitting all teams are scheduled 5 total games. Only exception is if we hold a 6 team playoff bracket where the #1 seed and the #2 seeds have a bye in round 1. If either of these teams lose in round 2 they will not be scheduled a 5th game. Additionally, any division with an 8 team bracket, the two finalists will play a 6th game for the championship.

The Top teams are determined by
1. W-L record
