Each tool explains how it works below it and shows the rule it follows. They are aids, not rulings: the officials and the governing body running a game have the final word.
The stick checker uses version 1.0 of the men's field and women's field rule books. World Lacrosse's playing rules page now lists a version 1.1 of each (men's field January 2026, women's field March 2025), which was not read for this site, so a figure may have changed.
