Foul Weather Policies

Summit's goal is always to PLAY! We play in rain, snow or shine as long as play is safe and facilities are open.

Outdoor game cancellations may occur in the case of facility closures or exteme weather (thunderstorms or freezing temperatures. Decisions about game stoppage or cancellation are made AT THE GAME LOCATION, AT GAME TIME by Summit staff and/or team captains, so players should always show up for games as scheduled.

Indoor games may be cancelled if facilities close or transportation to play locations is deemed unsage. Travel conditions are deemed safe if local public transit is running.

If games must be cancelled before game time, Summit will notify league members by email and (if possible) text. Please be sure to toggle SMS Alerts to Yes under your player page to allow Summit to send texts to your phone number. Game cancellations will also be posted on the Summit website.

Reschedule Date

Every full season will have one make-up date in the event that games should be canceled. This make-up date will have no bearing on the standings. Playoff games will be held as scheduled based on the standings at this time, and any games held on the makeup date will be an extra game just for fun!

Foul Weather Mid Game - Outdoor

In the event of severe weather (thunderstorms, lightning, snowstorms, etc.) outdoor games should immediately be stopped and players should take the following actions:

• Take cover away from open spaces and wait 15 minutes for the severe weather to pass. This stoppage of play should be done no more than twice in one game.
• If the severe weather passes, continue play, picking up where the game left off.
• If the severe weather does not pass, the following happens:
  Game Hosts will report the game stoppage to the Summit office, including the time remaining and score when the game was called.
  If the game was in the first half, the scores will NOT count and the game will be rescheduled. *Only one game per season will be rescheduled due to foul weather (See Reschedule Date).
  If the game was in the second half, the game will not be replayed and the score at the time of stoppage will be recorded as the final.

Foul Weather During Playoffs

In the event that a playoff game cannot be played as scheduled due to reasons beyond Summit's control the following course of action will be taken:

• If a semi-finals game is cancelled, the finals will be scheduled based on the league standings for the season.
• If a finals game is canceled, the games will end in a tie and the two teams playing for first place will be crowned Co-Champions.
• Playoff games that are canceled will be rescheduled to the make-up date at the end of the season. This make-up game will be for fun, and will have no impact on the result of the finals.
