The Santa Barbara Showdown is a premiere lacrosse event played in a beautiful part of the world. Santa Barbara County sits between Southern California and Central California with the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez mountains in view simultaneously from most vantages. The SB Showdown will be played at the gorgeous Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club.
There will be an on-site parking fee of $15 per day at the SB Polo & Racquet Club. Parking passes can only be purchased online and in advance of the event. Parking capacity will be limited, so we highly encourage you to purchase your passes ASAP and to carpool with teammates. We will also have a designated ride share (Uber & Lyft) drop off and pick up area if you want to avoid parking all together.
Parking passes can be purchased online via Ticketsauce. Note you will need separate parking passes for Saturday & Sunday. Attendants will be scanning parking passes on your phone so have them ready when you pull into the facility.

Parking capacity will be limited, so we highly encourage you to purchase your passes ASAP and to carpool with teammates. We will also have a designated ride share (Uber & Lyft) drop off and pick up area if you want to avoid parking all together.
Parking passes can be purchased online here via Ticketsauce: https://adrln.ticketsauce.com/e/adrln-santa-barbara-showdown-2. Note you will need separate parking passes for Saturday & Sunday. Attendants will be scanning parking passes on your phone so have them ready when you pull into the facility. Parking passes are one time entry for each day.
Any schedule requests must be submitted in writing at least one month prior to the start of the event. We cannot guarantee any requests but will do our best to accommodate if received within this time frame.
When making your travel arrangements, please keep in mind that it is important for your team to be available to play its last game on Sunday. Please allow for the possibility of having a late game on that day. It is unfair to other participating teams to forfeit games on the last day due to poor travel planning.
Please leave your pets at home.
There is no parking available for motor homes or cars with RV trailers or any vehicle that takes up more than one parking spot.
Parking for charter buses and school buses is up at the top of polo club grounds by the horse stalls.

*REGISTRATION AS A FREE AGENT FOR EVENTS IS NOT GUARANTEED*
Players interested in participating in an event but are not on a team MUST register as a Free Agent on the Adrenaline website. There is a $1 non-refundable registration fee. If you are picked up by a team, an invoice for the full free agent fee will be created and needs to be paid before you are moved onto the team.
Once a player registers as a Free Agent, their contact information will be sent to all attending coaches/directors.
If a team needs players for their team, the coach/director will contact the Free Agent directly.

Adrenaline Lacrosse has partnered with EventConnect to provide attendees/groups with the best available hotel rates and a smooth booking experience.
Our event is a “Stay to Play” event: A good working relationship with hotels is critical for the long-term success of our event. For this reason, teams or attendees who are traveling from out of town are required to book their rooms through our Official Travel Partner, EventConnect, to ensure that our room blocks are utilized. In short, since the hotels are holding rooms for our event, we must use these rooms.
Once you have registered for the tournament, you’ll be directed into the hotel feed for accommodation options. These hotels meet certain standards and location guidelines set by the tournament and booking service.
Once you have found the hotel that best fits your team’s needs, you can block your rooms for free online and share your team block link with your group allowing reservations to be made.

Aligned Event is a designation given to independently owned and operated events that have chosen to follow a set of operational and safety guidelines set forward by USA Lacrosse. These tournament guidelines are a set of best practices that cover six main areas of an event: USA Lacrosse membership & age verification, game format, venue, risk management, event administration, and certified officials. When these practices are adopted in their entirety, events create a more positive experience for participants while receiving insurance and marketing benefits from USA Lacrosse.
