Safety

Rain and lightning

Please note that we play in rain. If there is lightning we certainly do not play — the refs will blow the whistle, stop play, and a standard waiting period is observed. We ask for your patience with this, as it is out of our control.

Results

How a stopped game is scored

This is a competitive championship tournament, and we want to be clear about how weather delays and cancellations are handled. Each game at the high school level plays four quarters.

• If a game starts and does not complete two full quarters, the game ends and is reported as a draw. Goals for and goals against are included in the calculation for winning your bracket if necessary, but the result is not reported as a win or a loss
• If a game completes two full quarters, the score at the time play is stopped by the refs is considered the final score
• If a game is stopped during the first half and time allows part of the second half to resume, the final score is concluded only if two full quarters were completed

Makeups and schedule changes

There will be no makeup games, and the schedule will not be changed to make up weather-canceled games.

At all times, the tournament directors have the ability to adjust schedules. Schedules are posted on Tourney Machine as well as on this site, and are accessible through a mobile app you can download.
