IF WEATHER IS A THREAT TO PLAYING A GAME...

Mindset should be: play all games until officially cancelled/postponed. Any observed lightning is cause for immediate removal of participates to dugouts (away from poles and fences).

Managers can mutually agree to postpone until game time, after which umpires decide. League Directors decide if managers cannot agree or cancellation is involved or postponement/cancellation is for any other reason other than weather.

HOME TEAM MANAGER has responsibility for notifying umpires, Concessions Manager (Laurie Cass), your League Director, and VP of Planning (Kelly Ludwick) of any cancellations and scheduled makeups.
