RAISING THE STAKES OF SUMMER CLUB LACROSSE

In 2012 Inside Lacrosse will launch an adult summer club tournament in Atlantic City for men and women. The COMLAX.com Powerball Lacrosse Tournament “Money Division” for elite men's players will have a cash purse of $25,000 for the winners. Top teams and clubs from around the country are expected to compete for the cash and unprecedented media coverage.

IL first changed the game with its award-winning coverage of the sport. Then we raised the bar on the fan experience for regular season games with unprecedented, blowout stadium events like the Face-Off Classic, Big City Classic and Mile High Classic. Now we’re taking on summer club lacrosse.

Like so much that we do at IL, we set out to create a summer lacrosse tournament with the Lacrosse Player in mind. While combining all the elements that make for an enjoyable player’s experience - a well-organized tournament, great competition at all levels, lots of extracurricular activities - we added a convenient travel destination that provides superb accommodations, nightlife and excitement.

But that wasn’t enough. We had to up the ante. What if a summer tournament awarded cold, hard cash to the best teams? Let’s play for keeps.

A New IL Experience for Men’s & Women’s Club Players

Held July 20-22, 2012 in Atlantic City with $25,000 to Top Team

Baltimore, Md. – December 22, 2011 – Bob Carpenter, Publisher of Inside Lacrosse Magazine, announced plans for a new IL signature event experience scheduled for the summer of 2012, the COMLAX.com Powerball Lacrosse Tournament. The Powerball Lacrosse Tournament will be held July 20-22 in Atlantic City with game action taking place nearby at Richard Stockton College in Galloway, New Jersey.

The COMLAX.com Powerball Lacrosse Tournament is for men’s and women’s adult club teams. In addition to men’s and women’s open competitive divisions, a men’s masters division, and a men’s grand masters division that summer tournaments traditionally field, Powerball will feature an elite men’s division with a cash purse of $25,000 awarded to the top finishers.

With its travel-friendly location, cash prize and unprecedented media coverage, the COMLAX.com Powerball Lacrosse Tournament is expected to draw teams from every corner of the lacrosse world. Teams can register to participate and find out more information about the tournament online at PowerballLacrosse.com.

“Inside Lacrosse is thrilled to introduce the COMLAX.com Powerball Lacrosse Tournament,” Carpenter said. “For the past six years, IL has been committed to creating memorable fan experiences with our event properties such as the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic, the Konica Minolta Big City Classic and the new Mile High Classic.

“We thought it was time to create a signature player experience. Like so much that we do at IL, we set out to create this tournament with the lacrosse player in mind. While combining all the elements that make for an enjoyable player’s experience – a well-organized tournament, great competition at all levels, lots of extracurricular activities - we added a convenient travel destination to East Coast lacrosse communities that provides superb accommodations, nightlife and excitement,” stated Carpenter.

Carpenter added: “But, of course, we had to up the ante. That’s why we added a cash purse of $25,000 to the Money Division for elite men’s players. And unlike some other summer tournaments, Richard Stockton College provides a fantastic playing experience where all the tournament action can take place at one location. With great lacrosse, casinos, sand, surf and sun, Powerball offers something for everyone.”
