Playoffs
The IHSLA will sponsor two playoff series, one for A-Class to define the Illinois
State High School Champions and one for B-Class for the Lacrosse Cup.
Both series will be a single-elimination seeded bracket. Depending on the number
of teams participating in the series, some top-seeded teams may have a
first-round bye. Seeding is based on a coaches poll taken at a seeding
meeting on Sunday, May 20, 2012. Playoff games will start the next day. All
playoff games other than the Championship games will be played at the home field
of the highest seeded team.

Championship Games
The Finals of both the State Championship and the Lacrosse Cup will be played at
Palatine High School on Saturday, June 2, 2012.
The Lacrosse Cup game will begin at 1:00PM, the State Championship game will begin
at 3:30PM. The stadium gates open at 12:00 noon, and tickets will be available at
the door for $5 per person. Tickets are usable for the entire afternoon, and hand
stamps will be used to allow exit and re-entry. Free parking will be available in
the public parking garage adjacent to the stadium. IHSA rules and Oak Park public
safety rules apply to the event, so there will be no fires, barbeques, or alcohol
allowed in or around the stadium or parking garage. Concessions will be available
at the stadium courtesy of the OPRF Lacrosse Club. Teams may enter the locker rooms
one hour before game time.
Media passes are required for field access during the championship games. Media
passes may be acquired on game day at the stadium media bench just inside the ticket
gate. Passes will be available for valid media outlet members, professional photographers
and participating team photographers. Please bring ID. Media locations will be clearly
marked on the field from the end zone corner to the 30-yard line. Media members
may not cross the field at the end zones during gameplay.
The scoring table will be staffed by OPRF Lacrosse. There is no need this year to
have the participating teams provide scorers, statisticians, or horn/penalty volunteers.
All-Star Games
The IHSLA also sponsors an A-Class and B-Class All-Star game for seniors at the
end of each season. Each IHSLA team is given a number of roster spots based on their
playoff seeding position and the coaches will select seniors from their teams to
represent their school. It is always a great time to watch the outgoing seniors
exercise their lacrosse skills one last time as high-schoolers.
The 2012 All-Star game will be played on Thursday, June 7,
2012 at West Chicago High School. Game times have not yet been settled.
Players should be on the field one hour and fifteen minutes before gametime to meet their coaches and
teammates. Players will be provided shorts and jerseys for the game (keep the shorts,
return the jerseys).
Field passes and media passes are not required for the All-Star game.
Volunteers will be needed to coordinate gameday activities. Details forthcoming.
