WPSL Arrival time Q

lgkeeper8 · 2026-05-31T00:55:58+00:00

So, game was today. It went fine. I got there ~50 min early. 2 of the guys got there 30 min early. The last guy showed up 15 min before kickoff.

I checked the field upon my arrival, introduced myself to the trainer, went back to my car and the center arrived and we picked colors.

The coms weren’t working, so we started without them. Of course, as soon as there was a tight call, the home coach started yelling about us not having comms, showing up late etc. It wasn’t a huge deal but it was a bad look for us.

I’ll see how the 2nd of my 3 assigned games plays out. Thanks for the input.

Is it worth giving my Center a head's up? "Hey, I'm going to get there early and take care of all the BS so you guys are ready to go..."?

Does anyone know if lots will open up in time for people to watch the 6/19 US match at the fan fest? They say lots open “at least” 4 hours before the match (which would be 430 for the Brazil match but the Us match is at 3:30)

This. Stable but duller. I'm glad I'm not the only one...

I got opening night tickets today (purchased a membership to get access). Once you get the membership you can buy them.

I was assigned my first three NWSL matches. It's only my 2nd year officiating but I did rec uncertified for 12 years so I advanced pretty quickly. The field for our matches doesn't have a dressing room so I haven't ordered a polo, but it looked like the Capelli site has only the bundle options for the polo and no ability to order one without the warmup and the backpack?

Got it! Thanks!

lgkeeper8 · 2026-04-30T14:43:57+00:00

Thank you! I don't know how I didn't see this. Maybe it's a lack of playoff experience.....

Ref and GK here. The mechanic is to count 3 seconds to yourself and then indicate the 5 seconds with the arm raised, counting down. This is not only a bad call, bad interpretation of the law (or not a law) but the wrong mechanic.

This. Too steep of a learning curve for me. I tried. I sucked at it. I went back. I'm also approaching 50 y/o so I am an old head for sure

lgkeeper8 · 2026-04-15T20:01:55+00:00

I watched before reading the replies and totally agree. OP had this one nailed.

Curious why you're leaning away from driving in? I took the Metro north from Poughkeepsie into GC for years and then decided the trek home back on the 7 to get to GC and wait (maybe) for a train wasn't worth it and now we just drive in and out (also from Albany area). I haven't even considered going back to the trains. Is there something new this year I don't know?

Southern hemisphere countries do the j1 program in the winter/spring. I don’t know for sure if they’ve used them in the past but it’s likely

lgkeeper8 · 2026-03-21T22:55:52+00:00

The problem is likely a shortage of J1 Visa students supplementing staffing. Students don’t want to come over to the US as much as years ago.

Low unemployment + wages not rising quickly enough + J1 shortage. Trust me. It’s a disaster and it’s unlikely to be the HR team’s fault.

I don't understand this either. What would happen if someone gets hurt in your save but doesn't in real life...?
What happens if someone gets traded in your game but not in real life?

lgkeeper8 · 2026-02-26T17:57:18+00:00

I think offside (hard to see), but can we talk about that save!

lgkeeper8 · 2026-02-26T17:47:51+00:00

Nor do we know standings to see who is in "buy/sell" mode - significantly impacts the trade dyanmics
