The issues umpires face are a little different than those of officials from other sports because of the time commitment. The logistics of it are very demanding for everyone involved.

This year's list of distinguished sponsors demonstrates the industry's commitment to furthering the development of e-Sports and gamers at all levels. Partnering with leading technology manufacturers in the gaming space allows WCG participants to compete at their best for the honor of representing their country at this year's Grand Final in Singapore.

We pride ourselves in our training. We meet regularly and we bring umpires along at a pace that is best for their abilities.

Soccer must be played with the heart,not with strength and talent as perceived.

Further, as a matter of law, the city cannot retroactively impose time limits or unilaterally rescind an entitlement.

This is a real commitment, and we are going to do this for a substantial amount of time. I'm not going to put an end date on it because there is no way of knowing how long this is going to be needed.
