WEATHER POLICY

 

All cancellations will be decided by 4:30 p.m.

 

RAIN - The President of Alamo Little League or his/her designee is responsible for cancelling games at the Alamo Little League fields due to weather and field conditions.  He/She will make the decision after surveying the field conditions and checking the weather forecast.  An E Mail  will be sent out by 4:30 pm to coaches.  In addition the President/Designee will call the division directors.  Games played at locations other than Alamo are the responsibility of that League’s President; if you are playing away from home contact the coach from the opposing team you are scheduled to play for information regarding weather cancellations.

 

Coaches are responsible for contacting players when games are canceled.

 

COLD WEATHER - All games will be canceled if the wind chill is ≤40°.

TORNADO WATCH - All games will be played unless the weather changes.

TORNADO WARNING - All games will be canceled.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH - All games will be played unless the weather changes.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING - All games will be canceled.

LIGHTNING – (also see appendix A in the back of the rule book) - Activities will be stopped when:

 

  • Lightning is observed

  • Thunder is heard

  • If the sky looks threatening

 

When managers are notified, everyone is to go to his/her car immediately.  Being sent to your car does not mean the games are canceled, so please do not leave the ball park

 

After being sent to your car, the Field Director will wait 30 minutes.  If no lightning or thunder is detected for 30 minutes, games will resume.  If lightning or thunder are detected during the 30 minute period, another 30 minute period begins.  The Field Director will cancel games if it appears that the waiting period will go past curfew or remaining daylight.

 

DURING TOURNAMENT PLAY:

All of the above will apply to Tournament games, with the exception of the District Administrator making the final decision of game cancellations.
