Rainout Policy - Outdoor Events
- We play in the rain, however, we do not play in heavy rain or lightning.
- Since weather is often unpredictable, please check the weather update widget above AND our Twitter feed before leaving for your match.
- Keep in mind we won't make a decision on cancellation until 5:30 PM (or ONE hour before the first scheduled match of the evening) to make sure we make the best call possible. We will not make a decision to cancel any sooner unless it is absolutely clear that the weather will be unplayable.
