Windy weather - call the game?

[RILAX]

Since everyone else is getting in I will too:

First, I have never officiated girls lacrosse so I don’t know when girl games get called off. Sleet does seem to be a bit weak but I can see hail.

Second if you can place the sand bags on the goal so that the sand bags don’t extend outside the footprint of the ground pipes I have no major concern about this although it is not ideal. Coolers are not a good idea though and it is good that you did not use them.

Third, don’t concern yourself on how big/small or weak/strong the goalkeeper is. If you think it is dangerous it is period. It seems that you might have needed to convince yourself that it was dangerous by adding that fact. Also don’t worry about if the coaches want to get the game in, it is your job to make sure the game is played without any undo risk to any of the players on the field. It seems though that they wanted time to get a solution to the problem before giving up on the game, which is fine, but don’t let the coaches talk you out of your position if you think the current conditions are too dangerous to play in. If you do call a game short you should let your assigner know and hopefully he or she will back you up if some idiot of a coach or AD calls them up to complain.
