Bad Weather

[Ed Hickland]

Rain is more a problem here on Long Island than lightning and thunder but we do get it.

In inclement weather we must call the school two hours before the scheduled start. If we leave home before being notified of the cancellation it is full payment for the game.

If the game is cancelled at the site by the officials it is full payment for the game and payment for the re-scheduled game.

As for lightning or thunder the game is suspended immediately. Officials are paid for the game and re-scheduled to complete the contest for another game fee. That includes up to thirty minutes before the start of the game.

We get a fair number of cancellations when heavy rains hit the area. Already this year we have had two weekends with significant rain and about 25 percent of the game were postponed until the following day.
