World Lacrosse Championships 3

The lacrosse world met once again as fifteen nations went to Secristan for the 3rd World Lacrosse Championships. The projected favorites were the two previous winners, Newmanistan and Taeshan. Secristan's team was expected to be a top contender as well, and so would Dancougar and Kura-Pelland. Little did we know that we were about to have a surprise champion. Sarzonia hadn't participated in either of the previous two World Lacrosse Championships, so not much was expected from them. Again, this tournament proved to be first-time nation friendly as Sarzonia knocked off Newmanistan in the championship. For Newmanistan, it was their third consecutive championship game appearance. It didn't get as much press at the time, but the third place team, Cassadaigua, also was a first time participant.

In this edition, overtime was played until there was a winner, so no games could end in ties, and the standings went exclusively by win-loss record as opposed to the "points-based" method in the prior two World Lacrosse Championships.
