From the FGSA website:
2009 FGSA Rainout/Game Rescheduling Policy
All decisions regarding whether to call games because of rain are the responsibility of the individual Divisional directors. All Divisional game cancellations and game rescheduling will be posted at this site as early as possible or at a minimum of one hour before game time.
If rain is imminent on the day that a game is scheduled, check for important information at this site.
Since the Instructional and Intermediate divisions do not maintain standings, games will be made up at the discretion of the Divisional director based on field availability. If extended periods of rain result in multiple game cancellations, games may not always be rescheduled for make ups.
Having said that, it is my intention to find some way to play every game on the schedule this season; as long as the girls want to play, I want to find a way to make that happen, though it will certainly require some flexibility on the part of the coaches and parents.
While it can be difficult to rely on forecasts and predictions to make decisions too far in advance, I'll do my best to provide as much notice as possible, and always an hour or more before the game is scheduled to start. When games are canceled, I'll update this blog and notify the affected coaches as quickly as possible once a make-up date has been determined, though sometimes that may take a day or so since the fields are shared resources and multiple divisions will need to make up games.
As always, if there are any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Thanks,
- Rob
