Rain Procedures
Rain Procedures
Baseball/Softball is played in light rain.
Baseball/Softball is NOT played in the rain on already saturated fields. (we don't want to tear up our fields)
Baseball/Softball is NOT played in downpours or storms.
Baseball/Softball is NOT played in lightning. (see lightning below)
If you're traveling, don't assume it is raining in the place you're going.
Don't assume it is raining on the other side of Monroe.
Parents:
- your coach should call you at least 1 hour in advance (2 hours traveling)
- if no call from coach, call coach
- if can't get ahold of coach, call assistant coach
- last resort call Monroe Park at 539-8238. (this number is for coaches)
Coaches:
- watch weather forcast day before game
- if rain is predicted, make contact with other coach in advance (especially if you're the away team/traveling), to figure out what their cancel procedures are and what time they will make the call, and its also a good time to make sure the contact information you have is good (30minutes before gametime is bad time to figure out the contact info you have is wrong).
- if your the home coach, contact field coordinator/president if your planning to play the game (to ensure your not tearing up the fields)
OR
Wait for "My Coaches Call"- Monroe Park at 539-8238. (this number is for coaches)
- contact other coach at least 2 hours(3 hours traveling) in advance to discuss situation and possibly cancel or to tell them the game is on
- if canceling the game, call players minimum 1 hour(2 hours traveling) before game
- if canceling, call other coach to cancel
...- RESCHEDULING - try to do it immediately, the longer you wait the less important it will become.
- look at Master field schedule (posted in Coaches Corner on website) to get idea of open field date(s).
***Master field schedule is constantly changing especially if alot of games are getting rained out, so it is suggested that you don't use a printed copy.- call other coach to reschedule game with date(s) in mind
- once agreed upon date, then re-check the field schedule in Coaches Corner
- if trying to re-schedule within the next 2 days of your coordination, contact umpire coordinator to make sure game can be covered
- use the Reschedule Request form(in Coaches Corner) to communicate the request to the field coordinator and ump coordinator. Ensure that field scheduler and ump coordinator respond back.
- Coaches are responsible for rescheduling of games!!!
***If you have tried unsucessfully to reschedule a game, contact your commissioner for help.
Lightning (these are soccer rules, looking for baseball/softball rules)
During game
In the event of a storm, play must be stopped and suspended until the danger has passed using the following minimum criteria: A 30-second or less time between the sighting of a lighting flash to the hearing of the associated thunder shall be reason to stop and suspend a game, and play shall not be resumed prior to 30-minutes after the last sighting of lightning or the last sound of thunder heard.
