The 2023 draft schedule is now available. The draft below can be used for planning purposes. In particular, the check-in times for teams in each division is firm.
Check-in time
Teams must check-in at the scoring tent one hour before their first match and submit their waiver signed by all players. Any team not checked in one hour before their match may be replaced with a team from the waitlist at the discretion of the tournament director(s).
Here is the check-in schedule for teams by division:
- Men’s Super Social — 7:00 AM
- High School Girls — 7:20 AM
- High School Boys — 7:40 AM
- HIPPOs — 8:00 AM
- Men’s Social — 11:20 AM
- Men’s Competitive — 12:00 PM
- Women’s Social — 12:00 PM
- Women’s Open — 12:40 PM
Draft 2023 schedule – all divisions
Below is the 2023 draft schedule for the Lakefront 7s.
Please note that the ONLY official schedule is posted at the scoring tent on the day of the event. After checking in, please visit the scoring tent and review your team’s match schedule for any last-minute updates/changes.
Additionally, if a team fails to appear for any of their matches, or arrive more than 2 minutes late, their opponents who do appear will receive a 28-0 “forfeit win” and the schedule will continue as-scheduled.
Color-coded schedule
The image below is color-coded so that matches in the same division have the same color scheme. See below for a searchable table.

New this year : playoff matchups
In the past, semi-final matchups were typically decided by first determining the pool winners and runners-up. These teams were then ranked based on their record, and a complicated tie-break process was used to rank the 4 seeds for the semi-finals.
Once the top-four teams were ranked, the semi-finals were set as expected: 1v4 and 2v3.
Unfortunately, this process was both slow and error-prone. And a match delay in a single match could hold up the start of the entire ranking process.
Additionally, since we don’t schedule cross-pool matches, the ranking of the top-four teams was arbitrary anyway.
So this year, marking our 40th anniversary, we are making a change to our scheduling process. We have pre-assigned the pools that will fill each of the semi-final matchups. Since we don’t have to rank across divisions, selecting the teams for the semi-finals is simply a matter of determining the pool winners (in most cases).
And here they are!
