The Wisconsin Lacrosse Federation is announcing the restructuring of Boy’s High School postseason.
While still consisting of two tournaments, the Division 2 designation will be dropped. All Wisconsin boys varsity teams will be eligible for the Championship Tournament with the top 20 teams seeded into the Championship Tournament.
Those teams not qualifying for the Championship Tournament will be invited to play in the Wisconsin Invitational and have the ability to opt out should they choose to do so.
The top 20 teams in the Championship Tournament will compete in a five round playoff culminating in the Championship Game at 7:30PM Saturday, June 9th.
The Finals for the Invitational will be held at 4 PM on June 9th with both games will be held on Schneider Field at Carroll University.
“This change will create a more competitive Championship Tournament, particularly in the early rounds,” said WLF President Erin Ennis.
“The seeding committee can now take into consideration the strength of each individual team without regard to program size or school designation. But more importantly, we still retain the opportunity for every high school boy’s program to participate in the postseason should they choose to do so.” Ennis said.
The seeding committee will meet on May 23rd with the tournament brackets and invitations issued the following day.
This marks the first major change in the boy’s state tournament structure in eight years.
