Australian Lacrosse League
Encyclopedia : A : AU : AUS : Australian Lacrosse League
The Australian Lacrosse League (ALL) is an elite-level men's lacrosse competition launched in 2004 with the aim of boosting the profile and participation of the sport in Australia. The ALL replaced the Australian Senior Lacrosse Championships, which were held annually during a week-long carnival.
At present, the strongest lacrosse-playing states of Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia compete in the ALL. The long-term goal of the league is to include a team from every Australian state.
Teams play each other twice, with double-headers (a Saturday and Sunday game) played over three weekends. Each state hosts one double-header and travels for the other. Lacrosse Australia, the national governing body for men's lacrosse in Australia, is looking to extend the competition in 2006, with all sides to play each other twice both home and away.
The two teams with the best win/loss record over the round-robin tournament progress to the final, played on the weekend following the last round-robin match.
