Weather Delays / Cancelations

Weather Delays / Cancelations

Our site coordinators will be evaluating the fields in real time and will cease play if either (1) the fields are unplayable due to significant standing water or (2) there is thunder/lightning.  In the event of thunder/lightning, play will be stopped for 30 minutes, and the fields will be cleared of all players/personnel/spectators.  If there is no thunder/lightning after 30 minutes then play will resume.  If thunder/lightning continues then play will be stopped until it is deemed safe by our Site Coordinators to continue.

 

Per our Tournament Rules, in the event inclement weather forces cancelation of a game after at least half of regulation time has been played, the game shall be considered official and the score at the point of cancelation shall be the final score.  The Site Coordinator shall make the decision on whether a game has been canceled and shall also have the ability to shorten a game due to excessive delays.

 

Please ensure that your players are dressed appropriately and have an extra pair (or two) of dry socks to change into and that you have a dry place for them between games (we would suggest bringing a tent if you have one).

 

NOTE:  If your players choose to wear a rain jacket/hoodie, they must wear it under their jersey.

 

Should the tournament be canceled in its entirety due to weather conditions, affected teams will receive an 80% refund of their registration fee.
