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.
