| Are we going to have a game scheduled on Friday night? Friday night games are intended to be for local teams only. Local teams that will be playing on Friday night will be notified as soon as the schedules are completed so they can plan accordingly. The Friday night games are a direct result of the WIST eliminating games on the Monday of Memorial Day Weekend. |
| Can a player play on more than one team during the tournament? The WIST does not permit players to play on more than one team in the tournament. Players are registered to one team for the entirety of the tournament. If a player plays on another team during the tournament, all of the team’s games played will be considered forfeits and the team will not be eligible for championship or consolation games. |
| How are games scheduled for out of town teams (more than 1 hour outside of Westlake)? Efforts will be made to schedule out of town teams’ first games for late morning on Saturday to avoid a two night hotel stay. However, this effort is dependent on the number and locale of teams entered in this year’s WIST. |
| How will the U8, U9 and U10 teams handle Throw-ins. They will throw the ball in on restarts |
| I am coaching for more than one team for my community. Can you schedule it so I don’t have to be in two places at once? The Scheduling Committee will make its best efforts to accommodate coaches with this problem. Please make sure to indicate on your application if your coach is coaching multiple teams. You can also contact the Director at wist@westlakesoccer.org if you have any further questions. |
| The application form does not look right on my screen (overlapping drop down boxes, long rows over the input fields, etc.) What is going on? First, you should let the ENTIRE form load BEFORE you scroll. It is a big form. In short, your computer does not have enough memory (RAM) available to render the form correctly. Here is the solution that will work in most cases: 1. Clear the cache (temporary files) in Internet Explorer (Usually Tools>Internet Options>Remove Temporary files 2. Shut down Internet Explorer 3. Restart the computer 4. Open JUST MS Internet Explorer. 5. Go to Web site, fill out form. In most cases, this will solve the problem.... |

You can also contact the Director at wist@westlakesoccer.org if you have any further questions. |
