Q: What is the Turkey Shootout Tournament?
A: The Turkey Shootout is a preseason lacrosse event that allows teams to prepare for the upcoming season. In contrast to the Winter Thaw, the TSP gives coaches a "first look" at what their upcoming spring team could look like.

Q: Who can participate in the tournament?
A: The tournament is exclusively for Varsity teams. Players who are strong candidates for Varsity in the upcoming season may also participate if invited by their Team Manager.

Q: Is there a championship game?
A: Yes. The TSO is designed as a championship event to rekindle the inter-team competitiveness for the spring season. While winning a championship means nothing for the upcoming season, it gives all teams involved a "measuring stick" as the spring season approaches.

Q: What type of jerseys are provided?
A: Participants receive custom tank tops. These can be worn in various settings outside of lacrosse, promoting the event in schools and public venues.

Q: Why is the tournament limited to Varsity-level play?
A: The TSO is a competitive event where teams play at full intensity. It's not intended for teaching new or younger players, but rather for experienced players to hone their skills before the season starts.
