Schedules have been updated & published. Please take note of the following changes. 

Most time limits have changed so we could get everyone 2 pool games in. 

Coach pitch is still 50 minutes

9U-12U time limits are 1:10 minutes

13U is 1:20

14AAA is 1:25

The next weather update will be posted around 8:00 tomorrow morning. We will make sure everyone has plenty of time to make any adjustments. 

Thanks you for your patience and flexibility. We are trying our best to try and get this one in. 

________________________________________________________________________


The fields in Pearl & the Quarry have had a significant amount of rain. 

We are doing our best to hold off on canceling this event. 
With more rain in the forecast for tonight, we feel our best opportunity to play will be to push tomorrow's start times back to give the outfields time to dry out as much as possible. 
Therefore, we are pushing tomorrow's start times back until 12:00 for most fields, some fields could be later
If we are unable to play tomorrow due to tonight's rain, we will not make that decision until tomorrow morning. We will make sure everyone knows in plenty of time. If that is the scenario, we will look at a Sunday only option, but let's cross that bridge only if necessary. 


The schedule will be unpublished and new times will be posted later tonight. 


Thank you for your patience & understanding. 

_____________________________________________________________________________

Locations will be Pearl, Quarry, Jackson Prep, & Hartfield. 

We are aware of the forecast so that being said, all scenarios will be on the table to get the event in. 

  • Obviously the best option is we play through with no delays. Other options could include, but not be limited to, 1 pool game, 1:10 time limit, 1:00 drop dead time limit...etc. 
  • Make your 1st pool game count. If your team plays two pool games and others are only able to get 1 in, only your 1st pool game will count. 
  • Friday night play is NOT an option due to the potential rain on Friday night. 
  • Worst cast scenario, the event will be called off. No decision would be made on this until Thursday night/Friday morning. No updates on weather will be sent before then. 
  • The schedule request option is not on. 

Rosters

Any team that needs to add a guest player will have to wait until Thursday to do so. At that time you can request your roster to be unfrozen in order to add a guest player.
