Inclement Weather Policy and Procedure
Please be reminded of the TBMDSA Inclement Weather (Wet-Field/Rainout) Policy and Procedure.

Policy 4 - Inclement Weather

a)       All games will commence at the designated start time as per the schedule on the website. 

b)      When a regular season game is late in starting, the playing time will be shortened as all games must be completed within the scheduled time slot and finish on time for insurance purposes. 

c)       In the case of rain or other issues causing a delay of game a minimum of two (2) innings for U7 and U10 and three (3) innings for U14 and U19 will constitute a full game. The score will stand as of the last full inning.

d)      If a game is cancelled due to weather, the Home team is responsible for checking the field for playability, contacting the Visiting team, and their Division Convenor to cancel the game.

e)      This must be done a minimum of 90 minutes before the game start time.

f)        The Home team will then be responsible for contact Visiting Coach to discuss rescheduling dates to be played preferably on Home team’s practice night if possible.  Home team coach will contact Convenor to confirm the availability of diamond times and umpires.

g)       The rescheduled game can be played any time during the regular season but the date of the rescheduled game must be confirmed within two weeks of cancelled game.  Once the date is agreed on by both teams and all details are confirmed by the Convenor, the game will be added to the schedule on the website.

h)      In the event of a significant weather (ie. Tornado, Extreme Heat) warning issued by Environment Canada for our area, the Home Team is responsible for contacting the Visiting Coach to discuss rescheduling dates to be played preferably on Home team’s practice night if possible.  Home team coach will contact Convenor to confirm the availability of diamond times and umpires.
