SUMMARY The IL Recruiting Invitational is a premier opportunity for players to be seen, get noticed and leave their mark. Throughout the three-day event, Inside Lacrosse s talented team of reporters, analysts, photographers and videographers are out in full force to chronicle the entire experience and engage with and highlight the top players, programs, and coaches. In fact, never before has Inside Lacrosse applied so many editorial resources to a single event - including the NCAA Championships or FIL World Games. There are several good tournaments that offer a well-run event and fine competition. The IL Invitational certainly does too. But we think your players will have the best experience of the summer at the IL Recruiting Invitational. This is a one-of-its-kind event for the sport. TABLE OF CONTENTS I. SCHEDULE & FORMAT II.

III. MEDIA COVERAGE PRE-COVERAGE BUILD UP We feature each program on Insidelacrosse.com as we build up to your session of the IL Recruiting Invitational. We want to highlight your organization, your brand, your players and your gear. We intentionally space the events out over the summer so that we have time for proper, thorough coverage before, during and after your session. IL SCOREBOARD & GAME CENTER One of the coolest things we did was build this for the ILRI to match what we do for college and pro game days. We keep detailed stats on each game. Full box scores and sortable statistics are kept on the InsideLacrosse.com scoreboard under ILRI. The scoreboard is compatible with your mobile devices. LIVE COVERAGE OF GAME ACTION On Insidelacrosse.com you will be able to find live, up-to-date action of every single team throughout the week. This includes scores, stats, photos, interviews, players who stood out, sights, sounds and much more. MEDIA STUDIO IL covers the ILRI like no other event. We move our office and studio to the competition site the week of the event. Each team has a scheduled media session in the IL Media Studio to gather photos, hold interviews of standout players and coaches, and learn more about every single player in your program. POST EVENT ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM/ HIGHLIGHTS ON ILTV.COM We thoroughly review each session in the magazine and on Insidelacrosse.com, including hundreds of photos, extensive game highlights and interviews. We also create Free Agent (uncommitted) All-Star teams and an All- Tournament Team based on input from IL s Editorial Team and the attending college and club coaches.
