Rain out/Cancelled games procedure

Canceling a game is at the discretion of the Coaches/Umpires with the safety of the players being paramount (umpires must weigh in if the game is in progress and there is a reason to cancel or suspend the game). When deciding to cancel a game considers things like temp, diamond condition, weather, and safety. If it has rained enough that the diamond is mushy or if there is standing water stay off the diamond. However, we encourage all teams to try and play their games as best they can as the season is short and rebooking can be difficult. Specific rules relating to lightening can be found in the Little League Rule Book and must be adhered to (the 30/30 rule).

Please note that FAP will be closed by the city based on the weather conditions, check the city website for the status. City of Calgary Foothills Little League diamond status 

Coaches:
If you wish to cancel a game and you are the home team you MUST call the umpires and let them know that the game has been canceled at least 1.5 hours prior to the game. Email the coordinator and Umpire Scheduler to let them know that the game has been canceled. If you wish to reschedule your game you will need to work with the opposing team and division coordinator to find a diamond time for the rescheduled game.

Coordinators:
Never ever delete a game. If a game gets canceled, rescheduled or rained out go into ‘add, edit delete games’ and find the game and change the status, then make a note of why it was canceled. If the game is to be rescheduled please create a new game note the original game number and date of the old game in the details and check off “show details”. Then let the ump scheduler know so that they can arrange for umpires.
