How do I know if my game is cancelled?From our FAQ:
Q. How do I know if my game is cancelled?
A. Unsettled weather is a fact of life in Saskatchewan. The City of Regina may close the fields in cases where the fields are unplayable due to the weather. The City of Regina field status is posted each day by 2:00 PM. You can find the page here. If the City closes the fields we are not permitted to use the fields under any conditions. If we are caught using the fields when they are closed then we risk losing our access to the fields. If the city closes the fields we will do our best to get a league wide email sent out informing you of the closure.
If the City has not closed the fields every attempt should be made to play the game. We have no way to know if the fields will be playable or not without going to the field. Inclement weather alone is not enough reason to cancel the game. If the weather is questionable you will need to go to the field to determine if a field is playable. A decision will be made on whether or not a game will proceed based on a joint decision of the referee(s) and coaches at the field. This determination will be based on whether it is safe to play and and whether playing will do significant damage to the field. If, once a game starts, circumstances should change during the game the referee will consult with the coaches and determine if play should continue. The major factors in determining if the game should continue is the safety of the players and the condition of the field and whether significant damage to the field would occur if the game continues.
We ask that coaches not cancel the games without going to the fields when the fields are open. Too often one team cancels in advance and the other arrives at the field only to find the weather passable and the field playable, but no opponent.
If you talk to your young players, they will most likely prefer to play, even if the weather is not the best.
There are other things that can affect the playability of games.
Q. What is REZYSA's policy for playing games when the air quality is impaired?
For regular season Outdoor games, if the air quality health index at 4:30 PM is seven or higher, all REZYSA activities will be canceled. For tournament games, this policy will be applied 1.5 hours prior to the scheduled game time. If the AQHI rises to 7 or above after 4:30, referees, in consultation with coaches, may decide to cancel the game at the field.
Q. What is REZYSA's policy for playing games in extreme heat?
Parents are requested to judge their young player's tolerance to the heat in extreme heat situations when deciding whether or not to participate. In cases of extreme heat, REZYSA games will proceed as scheduled. When temperature, including Humidex, exceeds 35 degrees Celsius at game start, there will automatically be a hydration break inserted in each half of the game. The number of hydration breaks will be decided in consultation between the referees and coaches, considering the number of substitutes available on each team.
Q. Are rained out or games canceled because of air quality, temperature, or other factors rescheduled?
A. REZYSA does not have the option to reschedule canceled games or extend the season to reschedule games. To minimize field costs we only book enough fields to get through our regular season and tournament. Our mandate is to conclude games before the end of the school semester each year.
