WEATHER INFORMATION

 

RAIN OUT POLICY

The In-House Directors and/or the City of Cottage Grove will decide to cancel all games if we have had an all day rain. Your Director will notify you. Information regarding rainouts will also be available on our website at www.cgaasoftball.com.

Scattered rain or threatening rain: These games will be called by the two coaches involved (with the Directors approval) based on weather conditions and the condition of the field at game time. The Director will reschedule the game within 24 hours.

GAMES CALLED WHILE STILL IN PROGRESS:

1. If a game is called before 4 full innings the game will resume at the point at which it was called. The game will be rescheduled and played to completion 6 innings or 7 innings (Majors). Tie at 8:30 will use the international tiebreaker, same if a tie at completion of the game.

2. If a game is called after 4 full innings, the game will be considered a complete game. If the game is stopped in the middle of an inning the following rules apply:

a. If the visiting team is batting, the game score reverts back to the last complete inning. b. If the home team is batting and behind in the score, the game score reverts back to the last complete inning. c. If the home team is batting and takes the lead during the turn at bat, the game score when they take the lead during that inning is the final score.









3. If the resulting game score is a tie, the game will be rescheduled and played to completion 6 innings or 7 innings (Majors). Tie at 8:30 will use the international tiebreaker, same if a tie at completion of the game.

All cancelled games must be made up within 1 week. If the game is not completed within a week and there is enough information to show that one coach did not make any attempt to make up that game, a forfeit will be declared and the opposing team will be awarded the victory.

Both coaches must make every attempt to play and complete all games.
