The tournament will be played according to the women’s indoor lacrosse rules of the German Lacrosse Federation (DLaxV). The following points represent adjustments necessary to account for our tournament.

1. Every half starts with a draw. All players except the two draw-takers have to remain behind the restraining lines until the whistle.
2. All players may move freely at all times. Every player can restart with the ball after a foul whistle. After a whistle all players must keep a distance of 3 m or must not obstruct the player carrying the ball. Doing so constitutes a major foul.
3. All major fouls result in a one-minute penalty which is cut short if the opposing team scores. A yellow card results in a two-minute penalty. The player has to leave the field and a teammate gets the penalty. It is cut short if the opposing team scores twice. A yellow-red card results in a three-minute penalty. A red card results in a five-minute penalty. The player has to leave the field and a teammate gets the penalty. This penalty cannot be cut short.
4. The major foul Shooting Space results in an immediate whistle. The player gets a penalty and the ball starts at the center line. For all other major fouls, the whistle is held and advantage is given when the attack has possession and the defense fouls.
5. Players can walk through their own crease when playing defense. Only the defender defending the attacker carrying the ball is allowed to stay in the crease. Shooting Space counts even in the crease. If a defender in the crease (except the goalie) obviously tries to stop a shot on goal with their body, the defender gets a red card. A defender in the crease can pick up the ball or catch the ball. If the defending team lose possession, they have to leave the crease.
