Question of the Day:
IT'S DRIZZLING TODAY -- IT'S RAINING TODAY -- DO WE HAVE A GAME?
WHAT DO WE DO? HOW DO WE KNOW?
Answer:
The decision to cancel games is taken seriously because we want to ensure safety, yet the impacts of cancellations affect many people and complicate the season a great deal.
The decision to cancel games is made in two ways: First, IF the weather is SERIOUSLY wet, the League will make a decision by 3 pm on that day as to whether to cancel any or all of the games (some fields drain better than others on drizzly days and we could cancel a game at one site and not at another). This type of decision will be recorded on the League hotline 721-4784 Please call after 3 pm for the announcement. On Saturdays you should check the Hotline during the day as some games may go ahead and others may have to be cancelled. We will try to make this decision within 60 minutes of each scheduled time slot. No message, then report to the field...
IF THE RECORDING DOES NOT STATE THAT THE GAMES ARE CANCELLED, then the teams must report, ready to play, to their assigned field. At that point in time the two managers will walk and assess the field and the field conditions prior to the start of the game and agree whether or not to play the game. Sometimes some extra effort with rakes, small buckets, and brooms can clear off some standing water and make it possible to play. Any parent can offer to help to get a game in.
If the game is started, and then the skies open up with rain, the decision to suspend a game is in the hands of the UMPIRES, NOT THE MANAGERS and NOT THE PARENTS. Sometimes a shower will pass over, and the umpires may send the players into their dugouts to wait for 10 or 15 minutes to see if it passes over and then play will be resumed if it is safe to proceed. If it cannot be resumed, the game will be suspended to be continued at a future date. If the regulation # of innings have not been completed, then the game will be continued at a future date. If the regulation # innings has already been played and the game is stopped in the middle of a subsequent inning, then the score at the end of the last completed inning will stand as final.
A rained out game is automatically rescheduled through our League reschedule process. You can download the information from Reschedules Sction found under Handouts to the left of this page.
Everyone, if you have some time, (perhaps while waiting during a practice) bring a flat edge shovel or a hand edger or find one in a field shed, and, please, feel free to gently scrape and edge the dirt basepaths of the Minors and Majors and Jrs. fields. We need to remove the weeds in the basepaths for safety. Please pile your tailings in a discreet location off the playing field but close to fences, where we can pick them up later (not in garbage cans) when we can get dirt boxes in to off haul the debris. Thanks!!
PLEASE TRY TO STAY OFF WET FIELDS, ESPECIALLY GRASS AREAS. OUR FIELD PERMITS ARE FROM DIXIE AND SAN RAFAEL SCHOOLS WHOSE STUDENTS HAVE FIRST PRIORITY FOR USE. PLAYING ON WET FIELDS IS EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE. IF YOU USE DIRT AREAS BE SURE TO RAKE OUT ALL FOOTPRINTS, HOLES ETC SO THAT THE FIELDS WILL DRY SMOOTH AND BE SAFE FOR THE NEXT USERS.
