Express the only team to go 3-0 at Elite 8. They avenged an early season loss to Bethesda. Hawks, Smash, 88+3 MD, and Bethesda all went 2-1. I don't see how you can keep any of the 2-1 teams out of the playoffs - one team will be very disappointed and undeservedly kept out since tie-breaker rules were unpublished.
Igloo, United, and Diamondbacks did not make playoffs.

Express won their games by one goal against Dbacks at very end and in OT over Bethesda. Easily could've gone the other way. When the team that is 1-2 in your bracket loses to Express by one, BLC by 2 and wins 11-5 over United, I would say whoever squeaked into playoffs will have their hands full. [lacrosse] 5 v 6 seed will be another great matchup whoever it is. Good job to all. Unfortunately there are only 4 spots in playoffs. But tie breaker rules weren't published for a reason and we all know why

Great day for MD Rough Riders and FCA - both went 3-0!

Playing rec teams congrats

MM did a very honorable thing by pulling his team 88+3 MD out of the playoffs. They deserved it as much as any of the other 2-1 teams.

Playing rec teams congrats

What happened to BeachLax? Only 4 teams this year-Fca, Diamondbacks, freedom and United. At least no one can complain they were in a tougher pool.

Most of the good teams are up at NLF Summer Series

No butthead, they were not playing rec teams. A holes like you just can't wait to try and put down any other team.
Would rather see these two teams play in a different tourney than the one put on by cry baby MM. Boohoo that player touched my player Mr. ref, you need to kick him out of the game, and on the way off the field I'll give that kid a piece of my mind. Such an idiot in the way he tries to justify the means to an end. Completely wrong.

Good thing RR ran scared and didn't play in Millon's event. They would have gotten embarrassed. Z

Why would they even want to play in any event put of by the POS MM. Plus buddy boy, they never ran scared, they just knew what a ahold MM is and took a better path.

So then explain why they pulled out of a game vs them in Hoco? Does MM run Hoco? But if the parents are ok paying AA money and playing in B tourneys who am I to judge.

They didn't pull out of a HOCO game against MM team. MM acts like a complete [lacrosse] and even talks trash to a RR player who is on the field. MM always wants his way, feels he is the god of lacrosse yet there are many who know much more than he does and do not act like they are the king of lacrosse.
Why would anyone want to be around him, even some of the parents of his players say he is not a nice person. He is driven by ego and money. And the HOCO game, RR refused to play him after the game against his team at St Paul's. MM is a cry baby.

Says the anonymous poster trashing someone else.

Isn't refusing to play a scheduled game the same as pulling out? Call it what ylu want....you backed out of playing and you backed out of this tourney. If i was a parent, I would want my money back. AA prices to play B tournaments???

Yes, MM is what you say....i guess I'm the guy who would show up and put my teams tent right next to his instead of running. To each his own. Good luck in the rec circuit this summer!!

The schedule HOCO request was done not out of fear, no one fears MM, its putting up with his BS during a game, having him post a video of a player hitting one of his players during a game, talking trash to a RR player as he left the field, that was enough to want to not play a team associated with him and the same for his tournament. RR doesn't play in rec tournaments, as you suggested, but at the last minute the team needed to find an alternative for that weekend and the tournament they played in had an opening. This was done I April.
Why put your tent next to a butthead, I find it better and more enjoyable to be away from his type. Many coaches play against each other and off the field are friendly and speak to each other. Not MM, do something he doesn't like and he turns into a raving jerk. Even if you do nothing, he is never friendly and usually has his head up his butt. RR has more tournaments this summer that are neither rec or B. This team, from what I can see likes to play up and play AA, which is where they played in HOCO. And, the parents were in agreement about dropping MM's team from HOCO schedule and tournament.

If you knew MM you would clearly understand the deserved comments. Not trashing, just stating true facts. You need to understand the circumstances before you post "trashing".

Bethesda/ Smash rematch this weekend!

How come no one talks about Igloo...yes there are some weak kids on the top team but overall as a group they should be rated in the top 3 on Ll. They have 2 or 3 of the best skilled kids out there. Maybe small but pound for pound tough as it gets

Well you should be able to prove your ranking in 8 weeks or so. Just keep track of all the top teams and tournament results and bring them back here to prove your point. Like they say "that is why they play the game"

Igloo went 0-4 last weekend. I believe the one fat,Up obnoxious parent ate more cheeseburgers than Igloo scored foals?

Every team lost except Express. Any given tournament the top 8 teams can beat anyone. No dominant team for 2022

Igloo is a great 2022 team. Unfortunately, they were only the 6th best team at E8 this past weekend. (Ahead of Diamondbacks and United)4
