The sport’s best player Paul Rabil will be hosting a two day lacrosse tournament that tests speed, endurance and physical power. Not your average lacrosse game, Red Bull Baggataway has no pads and no out-of-bounds, just pure run and gun explosives.
Friday’s game day will consist of a round robin tournament. There will be two 15 minute halves with a sudden death type of feel. There are no subs, no face-offs, no equipment except for the goalies, one field, no out-of-bounds and checking above the shoulder is illegal. The two teams with the best record will compete on Saturday, prior to the MLL All-Star game, and winner takes all- $5,000 and the title of Red Bull Baggataway Champion!
Date and Time:
Friday, July 8, 2011 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Saturday, July 9, 2011 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Location:
Harvard Soldier Soccer & Lacrosse Stadium

So no equipment and only checking above the shoulder is illegal. A baseball swing to a ball carriers elbow is legal, crosschecks to unpaded ribs are legal, a stick check that only hits collar bone is legal, a 90 mph shot with helmetless defensemen in the way is OK. I wonder who they found to insure this event. I’m sure that Rabil won’t be risking his income playing in this.
