Q. Inclement Weather Policy?

Safety is the top priority: The safety of players, officials, and spectators is paramount. Tournament organizers closely monitor weather conditions and may make decisions based on factors such as lightning, heavy rain, extreme temperatures, or other hazardous conditions.
Pre-tournament communication: Tournament organizers typically communicate their inclement weather policies in advance to all participating teams and stakeholders. This communication may include information about the decision-making process, potential schedule changes, and alternative plans.
Monitoring weather conditions: Tournament organizers use various methods to monitor weather conditions, including local weather forecasts and on-site observations. Each lighting strike will require us to clear the fields for 30 minutes.
Delay or postponement: In case of inclement weather, tournaments may choose to delay the start of matches, pause ongoing matches, or postpone matches to a later date or time. The decision is usually made by tournament officials or a designated authority based on the severity and duration of the adverse weather conditions.
Venue considerations: The condition of the playing field is a crucial factor in determining whether a match can be played. Excessive rain or lightning may render the field unsafe or unplayable.
