3. Listen to the message. If it doesn't say the current date and time, then your game is ON! Your team must show up at the park or risk forfeiture. If the time and date is current and a rainout is called, teams will be notified of rescheduled games.
4. If you show up to play and it begins to downpour, it's up to the umpire to call a rainout if conditions become unsafe. However, teams should be prepared to play in light rain due to our limited time slots for rescheduling.
Forfeits
1. If your team knows they have to forfeit a game, please give the league's UIC and statistician 24 hours notice. The umpire's association requires 24 hours of cancellation notice or will charge the usual fee to the league. Your team may face penalty if this happens too often.
2. You must also notify the team you were to play of your intent to forfeit and they, as winning team, must report the forfeit win of 7 - 0 to the statistician online or by phone.
