Elite men's and women's teams from Canada, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the United States participated in a historic event October 23-24 at Tierney Field on the USA Lacrosse complex in Sparks, Maryland. The World Lacrosse Super Sixes tournament marked the beginning of a shorter and faster-paced version of the lacrosse that launched earlier this year.
Super Sixes is the fourth in a series of five events for the new brand of the sport and the first international Sixes competition for these teams. The round-robin tournament featured six games on both Saturday and Sunday.
According to Lax All Stars, 'Sixes blends many of the most popular aspects of traditional lacrosse disciplines, while introducing new elements that appeal to the next generation of athletes and fans. Major differences include a smaller field (70×36 meters), fewer players (12 per team, six-on-six competition), condensed game length (8-minute quarters), less stoppages in play and the addition of a 30-second shot clock. In the women's game, defensive players cannot be penalized for entering the shooting lane of an offensive player; offensive players will be penalized for taking a shot without regard for other players. In addition to vying for inclusion on the Olympic program starting in 2028, World Lacrosse Sixes will be featured in other multi-sport events, including The World Games 2022 in Birmingham, Alabama, next summer.'
