| 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.

| 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 |
| My club has the same coach for more than one team. Can you schedule those teams so that they don't play at the same time? We make every effort to accommodate requests like this, however teams MUST make alternate coaching provisions in the event this request can not be honored. |
| 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.... |
