Rainout/Bad Weather Game Reschedule Procedure (September 20, 2004)

Revised:  April 23, 2006

1. Automatic League Approval- Games cancelled by the field coordinator (or a club official acting as the field coordinator) due to rain or other unplayable field conditions are automatically approved for reschedule by the league.   No request to the league for a reschedule is necessary.  The home team’s field coordinator needs to make their field closure decision by 9:00am on game day.
2. The Home Team’s Field Coordinator (or designated club official) is responsible for notifying the assignor by 10:00am of games cancelled due to weather or unplayable field conditions.  The assignor needs to know the field(s) and time(s).
3. The Home Team is responsible for notifying the visiting team by 10:00am that the game is cancelled.
4. Email the League Administrator (BRCLsoccer@cox.net) by Monday that the game was cancelled.  Your email is to include the game number, game date, time and field.   If all of a club’s games are cancelled due to weather, one email from a club official to BRCL Administrator stating the cancellation will suffice.
5. The Home Team contacts the Visiting Team about reschedule dates and then checks field availability with your club. The field link in your team’s division schedule provides a field schedule.  Teams must honor the other team’s no play dates. Team no play dates are published on BRCL’s website (www.brclsoccer.org) and click on the “Season Schedules ” button.
6. Within 9 calendar days of the cancelled game, the Home Team emails BRCL Administrator (BRCLsoccer@cox.net): (1) your division name (2) each team’s name as it appears on the online schedule including gender (3) the new game date, time and field.  When BRCL’s Administrator updates the online schedule, each team’s contacts, the home team field coordinator and assignor are notified via email of the rescheduled game information.
