​Welcome to the 2021 Lonestar Cup! We have 10 teams playing in our first 6 Goal tournament this Spring season!   

Tournament Format
- Bracket 1 & 2: 3 teams in each bracket, teams will play 3 games cross bracket.
​- Bracket 3:  4 teams, everyone plays everyone.
- After the 3 games of bracket play, all teams will be ranked 1 through 10 based on records.
     - If 2 teams have tied records and they did NOT play each other, then the tie is broken by a shootout.
     - 
If 2 teams have tied records and they HAVE played each other, then the tie is broken by who beat who. 
     - If 3 or more teams have tied records, then the tie is broken by a shootout. 

- Records 1 through 4 will advance to the semifinals.
- Records 5 through 10 will move to the Lewis Jewelers Cup subsidiary tournament.
- For the semifinal pairings, if possible, teams will play a team they have not played. Otherwise, Record #1 vs Record #4, Record #2 vs Record #3.
If there are tied records in the semifinal pairings, then we will draw for placement.
