RAINOUT HOTLINE: (704) 499-9160
All Games are cancelled.
UPDATED @ 9:30 AM on 02/04/12
Any rainouts determined by Parks and Rec will be posted by
4:30 pm. After 4:30 pm rainouts will be decided
before each game based on current weather status and field
conditions. We will only cancel games for unsafe
field conditions or thunder/lightning, not simply for
the THREAT of weather.
LIGHTNING
POLICY: When the flash-to-bang count reaches 30 seconds
(which means lightning struck 6 miles away), we will stop
play immediately & clear the fields.
Most cloud-to-ground flashes are within 5-6 miles of the
previous flash.
When SportsLink
staff has made the decision to clear the fields, all players
should promptly seek shelter in a car. If no car is
available, a permanent enclosed shelter is a safe option.
Covered, but open, structures are not safe.
In situations of
LIGHTNING and UNSAFE/UNPLAYABLE FIELD CONDITIONS,
play will be suspended for a minimum of 15 minutes and
resumed after 15 minutes ONLY if lightning strikes are
greater than 6 miles away and fields are suitable for play. If play cannot be
resumed after 15 minutes, we will CANCEL THAT GAME and
attempt to resume play with the next scheduled game. The
canceled game's result will stand if half the contest has
been played, otherwise we will attempt to make up the game
in full. In the
event we cannot reschedule games, we will issue credits that
can be used toward future leagues. |
