Men's

mode

For the group stage ( Round Robin ) of the European Lacrosse Championship, the participating teams were divided into three different colored groups (blue, purple and green). The green group has 5 teams, the other two groups 6 teams.

The group placements and the group membership of the team determine which games the respective team has to play afterwards:

• Blue group: the two best teams go straight to the quarter-finals. The other four teams play a so-called "play-in" game in which they play in knock-out mode for a place in the quarter-finals.
• Purple group: the first-placed team will advance to the quarter-finals. Second and third placed teams play in play-in for a place in the quarter-finals. The last three teams play for places 13 to 17
• Green group: the first-placed team will advance to the quarter-finals. Second and third placed teams play in play-in for a place in the quarter-finals. The last two teams play for places 13 to 17.

Places 13 to 17 will then be played in a group tournament. The winners of the play-ins advance to the quarter-finals. The losers of these games hold a group tournament among themselves to determine places 9 to 12.

The final round is played in knockout mode. The winners of the quarter-finals advance to the semi-finals. The losers play against each other in knockout mode for places 5 to 8. The winners of the semi-finals move into the final, the losers play for third place.

The game is played in four quarters of 20 minutes. If there is a tie after 80 minutes of playing time, there is extra time. If necessary, a golden goal will be used , so that there can be no result in any game.

In the group matches, the winner receives one point, the loser none. In the case of teams with the same number of points, the goal difference decides.
