Weather Delay

Item 9 page 5 of 2008 MYOC Package (rules & procedures) have references to weather delays.

9. In the event that a portion of the game schedule is suspended due to weather (or for any other reason), the following rules will apply:

a. In the event of a stoppage, games that have completed a half, or are in the second half, will be deemed completed and the score at the time of the stoppage will stand;

b. In the event of a stoppage, games that are in the first half will be replayed in their entirety (both halves), subject to time and field constraints of the tournament.

Suggested additions and changes:

c. In the event of a stoppage, the Leagues Committee and the Director of Referees will determine when it is safe to restart games. Games will resume on the original schedule with the next scheduled time slot due to play (e;g,: if it is safe to play at 3:45pm, games will recommence with those teams scheduled for 4:00pm.)

d. Games with the first half not completed, or games not played due to stoppage, will be rescheduled in available time and field slots. Games not completed or played Friday and early Saturday will most likely be played late Saturday. Games not completed or played late Saturday may be played Sunday morning, with semi final games delayed. Specific details will be available at scoreboards and registration area.
