FBASA rules for postponement of scheduled league games
due to weather and/or field conditions
1) All
games for remainder of the day are deemed postponed (a
rainout) if when you call:
-
On
Friday, the Eclipse rainout telephone hotline deems
the fields “Closed” before or by 5:00 PM
(281- 265-0569,
Option 1)
-
On
Saturday, the FBASA rainout telephone hotline deems
the fields “Closed” before or by 3:00 PM
(281-434-4000)
-
On
Sunday, the FBASA rainout telephone hotline deems
the fields “Closed” before or by 8:00 AM
(281-434-4000)
2)
If the
rainout telephone hotline calls the fields “Open” or if
for some uncontrollable reason, the hotline is not
updated, the teams scheduled to play should show up
ready to play, regardless of the possibility that rules
3, 4 and 5 may be enforced.
3) A game should be
voided and deemed postponed independently of
the score and of the rainout hotline status, if due to
weather or field conditions, it needs to be stopped during the first half of
play. The referee will enforce this decision
during the game.
4) A
game should end
prematurely independently of the score and
rainout hotline status, if due to weather or field
conditions it needs to be stopped during the second half of play.
The referee will enforce this decision during the
game. The score at the time of stoppage becomes the
official and final score.
5) The
sign at the entrance of Lost Creek Park is NOT the
official statement that determines the postponement of
FBASA league games; all other times the sign is to be
deemed the rule and should be obeyed.
7)
Per FBASA constitution, league games will NOT be
rescheduled for any reason other than a rainout. If
a team does not participate in a scheduled game for
a reason other than an official rainout (i.e.: not
having enough players, etc.), that action
constitutes a forfeit and the offending team(s) will
incurred the subtraction of 3 points from the league
standings.
8)
The telephone hotline field status before the stated
times is NOT the official and final field status for
the day, do not call the hotline: Friday before or
by 5:00
PM, Saturday before or by 3:00 PM or Sunday before
or by 8:00
A.M.
