There is a contradiction in a few of these schedules. Is Thursday a rest day? Or is it a rest day for only the semi-finals teams? The link above says Thursday is a rest day, then the PDF says there are games. Can anyone clarify? We have guys planning to come back for finals (and me for work) thinking it was a rest day.

For Division A, it is only a guaranteed rest day if you have won your previous games. There are some consolation games on Thursday. With the amount of games between both divisions, there was no other way to do it.

When are the men's A&B all american and academic all american teams announced this year? At the tournament? or later on the website?

[Bronson Parker]

We called US Lacrosse about this and they seemed to have no idea. They said Thursday was a rest day for all Div. A teams. We then pointed out all the schedules saying there were consolation games on Thursday to which they replied, "oh, well, we don't know." We haven't heard back from them since. Does anyone know with absolute certainty what the schedule is? Are there games on Thursday or not??

Looking for a little more certainty. See my first post. There are contradicting schedules...

[Sonny]

I believe the only teams getting the off day on Thursday are the four Div. A Semifinalist teams (Semi's on Friday evening). Everyone else (all of Div. B plus remaining 8 Div. A teams) has a game on Thursday.

wouldn't that be the remaining 12 Div. A teams?

Tournament Director Dan Morris has confirmed this...
