In response to the ever changing landscape of interscholastic athletics and the unprecedented challenges caused by COVID and now the weather, the Lancaster Lebanon League Executive Committee, at the recommendation of the L-L League Basketball Sports Chair, has approved modifications that will help alleviate the pressure of rescheduling games. Effective immediately, the following shall apply:

Crossover games will NOT count towards a team’s Section/League record.  Section games only will impact standings and determine champions.  Ties will be determined by criteria (Head to Head, D3 Power Ranking.

The expectation of the L-L League is for all crossover games to be played.  The order of priority when rescheduling games: Section games, Crossover games, Non-League Games.
