LCSL Manager’s Notebook 3

Once submitted, the submitting team will see a note that states “Pending Request” next to that
game and a notation indicating whether the opposing team has responded or not. Only the
submitting team can edit a request after one has been submitted.

GotSoccer will then send an email to the opposing team. It will show on their Team Schedule
page as a “Pending Request”. The submitting team should also notify the opposing team
directly that they submitted a reschedule request in GotSoccer. All team contact information
can be found by clicking the “Team Contact Info” button which is shown on the top right corner
of the League Schedule page. Teams are under no obligation to accept requests.

The opposing team will also see a “Pending Request” notation on their Team Schedule page. If a
team receives a request and is ready to reply, click “Respond” and they will have the option to
“Accept” or “Refuse”. There is also a place for comments if the opposing team needs to discuss
other options than are proposed. To submit, click “Update”.

*Please note LSA does not receive a notification when new chat messages are sent.

IMPORTANT: A game shall not be considered rescheduled until both teams receive an email
approving the reschedule through GotSoccer or from LSA directly. Approval will depend upon:

· Host team confirmation of field and referee availability
· Agreement by both teams in GotSoccer
· LSA confirmation of field and referee availability

If two teams will face each other in an LSA approved invitational tournament, they can agree to
have their tournament game count as their LCSL game. This is accomplished using the
rescheduling process above. As a reminder, it is the responsibility of the original host team to
notify their club’s assignors when games will no longer be played at their home fields.

Communications

The 2018-19 season is the second season that LSA encourages teams to use the “Chat” button
pictured in the “Rescheduling a Game” section above. You should be familiar with it by now.
GotSoccer’s chat function allows teams to communicate with each other and agree to
reschedules all in one spot. The chat log is kept on file to allow coaches and managers to view
and contribute to a conversation. LSA can also read and post within the discussion when
needed.
