From press release
The Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Championship will be getting under way at 5 p.m. Mountain Time (7 p.m. Eastern Time) on Thursday, July 10 with opening ceremonies at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo.
The Games will last through Saturday, July 19.
A record 38 nations will participate in this year’s world championship and will play 142 games over those 10 days, beginning with a rematch of the last world championship game.
After the opening ceremonies, the host United States team battles Canada at 7 p.m. Mountain Time (9 p.m. Eastern Time.) The game will be shown live on ESPN2.
The U.S. beat Canada, 12-10, in the 2010 world championship in Manchester, England.
The field is broken into nine divisions, with the top six teams competing in the Blue Division. The other eight divisions all have four teams and are not grouped by world ranking.
The Blue Division has six days of pool play (July 10-15) and the top four teams in the Blue Division advance to the quarterfinal round. The top two seeds receive a bye into the semifinals. The other eight divisions have three pool play games and will begin bracket play on July 14. The top team in each of the eight divisions after pool play will have the opportunity to advance to the quarterfinal round of the championship bracket.
In addition to the FIL World Championship, more than 150 teams are already registered for the boys’ youth and men’s elite/master’s World Festivals, which will be held in conjunction with the world championship at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
This is the first time the quadrennial FIL Men’s World Championship has been held in the United States since 1998 when it was played in Baltimore.
