Game Cancellations

Games will be played as scheduled unless the home teams club president or his/her designee determines that a field is not playable for any reason. Please note that coaches do not have authority to cancel a game. If a field is determined to not be playable, the home team coach, after being told the game has been canceled, has the responsibility to notify the coach of the visiting team of the cancellation of the game. The notification must be given not less than two hours before the scheduled start of the game. The club president has the responsibility to contact the referee assignor to notify them the game has been canceled.

If a referee determines that the field becomes unplayable before a game commences, the game shall be rescheduled as a make up game. If a referee terminates a game during the first half because a field becomes unplayable, the entire game will be rescheduled. If a referee terminates a game after the first half, only the second half of the game will be rescheduled. If both coaches agree, a terminated game may be treated as a complete game and not be rescheduled.

Games that are to be made up are to be schedule between the coaches of the two teams involved. Games should be made up in the week following their cancellation. Saturday games should be made up by Wednesday of the following week and Sunday games should be made up by the following Thursday. Please contact the club president and or referee assignor to have a referee scheduled for the make up game.

Make up games take priority over practices scheduled on a particular field. Coaches, please notify and coordinate the scheduling of make up games with the WBYSA Field Coordinator to minimize field use conflicts and to allow the Field Coordinator to contact other coaches who may have scheduled practices on the field that is being used for a make up game.
