GAASA League Rule 5.7 - EMERGENCY GAME CANCELLATION DUE TO FIELD SHUTDOWN

GAASA recognizes the fact that most clubs do not have the final say over the use of their fields. The Board of Education or the Parks & Recreation Division within their community controls most fields. If a field is shut down by one of the above due to inclement weather the following steps must be taken:

1. NOTIFY: The GAASA President (Nic.O.GAASA@gmail.com) as well as by phone at (330.283.3730). THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE TO CALL THE APPOINTED GAASA OFFICIAL IS THE: The Club’s President or in their absence the individual responsible for fields. Call NO LATER than 6:00 p.m. on the night prior to any scheduled game 2. The Presidents will notify the referee assignor and the assigned referee of the cancellation 3. All reschedules must be handled according to the schedule/reschedule policy as defined. 4. Any club that fails to report by 6:00 p.m. may result in the following: a) Said club being responsible for any and all referee fees and b) Said club’s rescheduled game will automatically be rescheduled to the opponent’s field.
