why are outlaws black in the 2020 B bracket? Never seen them before but thought outlaws black are their better team. A bracket only has 4 teams we could use another.
The tournament has found some errors in the schedules...as soon as they get me the updated schedules I will post them and put the updated info on the scroll on top

No they don't need one more team in A. When a tournament is 3 games and a championship, you want either 4 or 6 teams in a bracket. If you have 5 teams in a bracket, one team would have to play 4 games in order for each team to get a minimum of 3 games each. Odd number brackets do not work.
UJB, thanks for the updates. You should know "The First Days are the Hardest Days". There will always be knuckle heads jumping on everything they can here. makes them feel important. Good luck this weekend, looking forward to another great tournament.

Cause when life looks like easy street 91 is at your door.
Re worked schedule- Was sent to directors, Will wait till wed morning to post here in case we have any more changes.
Please read This is the 6th Annual Andy Forsberg Memorial Tournament. Andy passed away in 2008 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He left behind his wife Donna and three sons Matt, Tommy & Chris.
A longtime Huntington resident in the Elwood School District, Andy was very involved in coaching Huntington area youth lacrosse and was involved in the formation of the LI Outlaws Lacrosse Club.
Andy was a very special person. As an example, in a sport where emotions sometimes get the better of coaches, parents and players, Andy was different. While very competitive, he was always a calming influence to his fellow coaches, the players he coached and taught and always put things in the proper perspective. He always took time with every player he coached no matter their skill or ability and made them feel special. It is also how he lived his life. One friend said “Andy is the man we should all be like”.
After Andy’s passing, his family, friends and neighbors organized this tournament for the benefit of his children’s college education fund, The Andrew G. Forsberg Memorial Trust Fund. The tournament and Forsberg Family also donate to other charitable causes and funds.
We organized this as a competitive tournament with championships in every division that players, coaches and parents could all enjoy. However if you don’t like a call that an official makes, a mistake by a player, or any of the other things that can get us all going, maybe think WWAD (What Would Andy Do) and put it in perspective.
We have many returning teams that have participated for many years and many new teams in this tournament. We thank you again for your support and look forward to a great weekend of lacrosse for all.

Forsberg Tournament Directors June 2014
Great stuff and well written. I wish we were participating.
Andy sounds like a great man and wish he was someone I could have had the pleasure of getting to know.
This piece should be posted on every one of the message boards where parents are saying how great their son's team is or how poor another team is.....
Thanks for bringing us all back to reality. Enjoy the ride not the destination. Keep calm and lax on.

that is a true statement. a few 2024's playing in the 2022 bracket. I am far from a Outlaws supporter, but Kudos to the 2023 team for moving up in their host tourney.
Nice 8th grade A bracket!!! 3 strong teams against a weak B team. Great job on setting that up!!!!!
What is wrong with you people? You whine if a team plays B, you whine if a team plays A, you whine when a mistake is made on a schedule. This site has been populated by children or adults who act like children. The JDRF thread became a whining disater for an event to support a good cause. Lets not repeat the same here for another good cause.

You my friend are an a**. They had 4 teams sign up for the A bracket and you are complaining that one team is weak. That's the teams prerogative as to where to sign up their boys. Why are you complaining as if the tournament directors placed this team in the A bracket. There is an A and B and you sign up for what division you want.

As I agree that a team signs up for what they think they are BUT no one knows going into a tournament the competition. If the pool of play suggests you are not the level you think you are you should be able to move.
Now that said, I am quite sure the directors for both the Tourny and team are aware of this. If is it that the tourney needed a team for A great they stepped up or if the team wanted to challenge themselves and entered as an A even better.
Will they have the photographer going around taking pictures of the teams. One year that was the best thing my son got. I just didn't know ahead of time.
Great tournament - although it would be a good idea to put a few balls at the end of the fields for games. Multiple times the kids had to run into playground or lost the ball in the surrounding bushes.
Very "classy" move by 2020 Express B sneaking their A team face off kid onto their roster for the day...Totally lame and they still lost to True Blue.
The head coach of St. Anthony's acted like a complete idiot at the end of the game and got an unsportsmanlike. True Blue easily beat them in JDRF last week and he brought in some Terps players to beat them today. Way to show faith in your team tool bag.
Do the math knucklehead: 3 balls each team, That's 1 ball for each team each game. That equals 2 balls per game. That's why there were none on the end lines
