RAIN
We will largely play in the rain. Often we have to wait for a decision from Parks and Rec regarding field usability. We never want to use a field that might be damaged from usage during wet conditions.
THUNDER + LIGHTNING
When lightning strikes we will clear the fields and wait for the weather to pass. If we get 30 minutes between lightning strikes, teams can resume play. The 30-minute clock restarts every time lightning flashes or thunder sounds.
SNOW + COLD
We do not play with measurable snow on the ground (or frost).
