Game Postponement
We will attempt to play all scheduled games unless postponed due to inclement weather. All coaches are expected to notify their players when games are canceled. In some cases the weather may become inclement just before or during the game. When this occurs, the coaches and the umpire shall confer about the weather and make a determination about the suspension or postponement of play.
After the completion of 3 full innings or when the trailing team has completed at least three at bats, the game is considered “official” and the final score shall revert to the last complete inning unless the home team is ahead during the final incomplete inning. Every effort should be made to play complete games and mildly inclement weather should be tolerated.
