I'm not an official, but I've watched a lot of games in the IWFL and WPFL; none in the NWFA (though I might this year) or WFL. After they moved to the IWFL the NY Sharks cheaped out on officials and went to 4 man crews at home, which was bad news for them because they adopted a pass-heavy attack starting in 2002, since they had one of the few really good passers in women's football.
This year the IWFL, which grew a lot at the expense of other leagues, has split into 2 tiers of competition. Hopefully that'll make for fewer runaway games, because as another poster mentioned, the skill level varies enormously.

OK. Which game are you covering?
As with men's minor league football, the rules are usually based on one or two of the major US codes with a few "gotchas" that lead to officiating errors the audience & players often don't notice or will easily forgive. The officials tend to think of everything as Fed + exceptions regardless of what the rules base actually is for that circuit.
