How Are All Star’s Selected
Current Structure: Currently, all stars are selected by using a combination of votes received along with
comparing individual players statistical rankings (pts/g, goals/g, assists/g, save percentage) against their
competition. Traditionally the first place team receives the most recipients and recipients by team are
tiered downward depending on placement in standings and seedings in playoff. All teams must be
awarded at least one representative in either the first or second team listing during the selection
process. First team is usually smaller than second team to outline the league’s TOP performers at their
position. The level of a competition is also a factor.

Division I:

3. Executive Committee Voting: In the event of a tie on a vote by the Executive
Committee the Commissioner, Secretary and Treasurer will vote to break the tie. In

South Assignor - Vote
V. Assignors
Local League Assignors (North, Central, San Diego and AZ/Las Vegas) are responsible for
assigning US Lacrosse rated officials to staff ‘official’ regular season games between
member teams in accordance with the approved master schedule. Assignors must be
approved by the applicable teams for which the assignor position represents and applicants
must submit their lacrosse resume to the Commissioner if they elect to run for office or seek
a consecutive term(s). Terms are for three years with each term ending at the end of the
WWLL season. There is no limit in the number of terms an assignor may serve.
·
Term End-Date
o
Central: 2011, 2014, 2017, 2020

San Diego: 2012, 2015, 2018, 2021
o
North and AZ/LV: 2013, 2016, 2019, 2022
It is requested that the Commissioner get additional feedback from teams, Local Umpire
Board(s) and other assignors about each applicant.

Officials / Assignors
•
How do I know if officials are assigned to my game?
• www.arbitersports.com
• It is the home team’s responsibility to ensure officials are assigned to the game
• On the Arbiter web page, you can find what officials are assigned to your game
(beginning in late January), their phone number and emails in case of a rainout
• You can also rate the officials from your game on Arbiter
•
How do I get officials if none are assigned to my game or I want to find officials
for a scrimmage I just organized?
• Email your local assignor
•
How do I pay for officials?
• Your local assignor can brief you on how to pay for officials in your region.
•
Does the assignor fee I paid with my league dues pay for my officials fees?
• No, they are separate.
• The assignor fee you paid with your league dues pays for your regional assignor’s time in
assigning officials to your games. You still have to pay your officials for the games the
officiate. Each region handles payment differently so talk to your assignor.
WWLL League Meeting - 2012/13

Proposal
North Teams
Proposal: Assess a $25 fee to North Teams for
payment processing of officials payment
The NCWLUA invoices the college club teams for the officials and
pays the officials from the monies received. This has generally
made it easier for the schools and the officials. The problem is that
this year and in future years the NCWLUA Treasurer has been
responsible for work. There is a proposal to bill the North schools
an extra $25 so that the NCWLUA Treasurer can be compensated
their work. This fee is roughly equivalent for what they are paid for
doing the same process for high school teams.

Additional Proposals
WWLL League Meeting - 2012/13
61
Code of Conduct - Proposal
•
Add WWLL Code of Conduct
All members of the league are expected to adhere to US Lacrosse's Code of Ethics and uphold their
institution's 'code of conduct' guidelines that they are obligated to operate and play within. If a
team has violated their code of conduct obligations, as determined by their institution, the WWLL
will acknowledge the judgment of the institution and may apply a similar disciplinary action. A
common example of this policy:
Division 1 "Team A" has been suspended by "University Team A" for hazing, University Team A has
put Team A on probation for 1 year. As a result, Team A is no longer recognized as a club team by
their institution; therefore, Team A is no longer an eligible member of the WWLL and will be
placed on probation to match that determined by University Team A.
The WWLL Executive Committee and or Commissioner may also review situations brought to the
attention of the League, specifically illegal activities that may impact the WWLL. All members of
the league, it's staff, players, coaches, affiliated individuals and organizations are obligated to
comply with all applicable laws. Violations of the law will not be tolerated. It expected that it's
members refrain from participating in all potential for conflicts of interest, harassment, abuse of
power, and other forms of unethical behavior. Failure to do so may result in an immediate
termination of affiliation.
