2 ATHLETICS EDUCATION About Ath-Ed Lacrosse FOR OVER 20 YEARS, Ath-Ed Lacrosse has helped the lacrosse athlete realize his full potential. Lacrosse participation has grown by over 500% since Ath-Ed was incorporated, and this organization has been instrumental in the development of the lacrosse athlete in Northern New Jersey during this period. John Gallucci, Sr., founded Ath-Ed Sports, Inc., in 1992, with the mission to provide New Jersey lacrosse athletes the ability to play ball for the majority of the calendar year. Summer and Fall leagues now attract over 1,000 athletes per year, and make Ath-Ed one the largest extra-curricular lacrosse programs in the state. They prepare the serious athlete to be competitive at DI-DIII collegiate level, and provide a healthy outlet for the casual player. Since 1992, the caliber of lacrosse in New Jersey has grown to the point where it is considered a recruiting hotbed by most colleges. Ath-Ed is proud to have contributed to this success story. In recent years, Ath-Ed has expanded beyond seasonal lacrosse leagues. Jersey Thunder is Ath-Ed s traveling club program, which includes athletes from 3 rd grade through high school. Ath-Ed and Thunder athletes have moved on to play at almost every recognizable college or university on the east coast. In the fall of 2005, Ath-Ed hosted its first tournament, The Fall Finale Fall s Final Battle, in Mercer County, NJ. In 2006, it added the Lehigh Laxfest, which is currently the nation s fastest growing boys lacrosse tournament. At 260 teams in 2012, it is also one of the largest. Whether it is a league, camp, clinic, travel team, or tournament, one thing remains consistent about Ath-Ed. Their passion for helping these athletes grow is driven by their desire to give back to a game that has contributed positively to their lives.

5 CRITERIA FOR SEEDING Some brackets require seeding. Tiebreakers for seeding will be determined according to the following rules: 1) Record. 3-0 beats 2-1. In a 2-way Tie (example, 2 teams with a 2-1 record): 1) Head-to-head record. (Example: If BLUE beat RED, then BLUE wins the tiebreaker) 2) If there is no head-to-head record, then Goals AGAINST. Team with the lowest goals against wins the tiebreaker 3) If still a tie, then Goals SCORED. Team with the highest goals scored wins the tiebreaker 4) If there is still a tie after Record, Head-to-head Record, Goals Against, and Goals Scored, (VERY rare!), the default for seeding will be alphabetical order of the team names as they were registered. Numbers come before letters. In a 3-way Tie (example, 3 or more teams with a 2-1 record): 1) Head-to-head record. If BLUE beat both RED and WHITE, then BLUE wins the tiebreaker 2) Goals AGAINST. Team with the lowest goals against wins the tiebreaker a) If there is still a 3-way tie, then Goals SCORED is the next criteria. Team with the highest goals scored wins the tiebreaker. b) If Goals AGAINST reduces to a 2-way tie, then see "2-way tie" above. (Example: 3 teams with 2-1 records & equal head-to-head records. If Blue GA = 19, Red GA = 19, White GA=21, then White is out, but Blue and Red are still tied. If Blue beat Red in a prior game, then Blue is the highest seed, followed by Red, then White) 3) If there is still a tie after Record, Head-to-head Record, Goals Against, and Goals Scored, (VERY rare!), the default for seeding will be alphabetical order of the team names as they were registered.
