Rainy Day Meet Information
1. If raining on the day of a meet, all teams must show up to the meet or a forfeit will take place.
2. Only the Meet Referee can call a meet off because of rain. The decision takes place only on the day of the meet at the meet site.
3. Just because it is raining where you are at, do not assume that it is raining at the meet site.
4. A meet can take place during rain--but not if there is thunder or lightning. Thunder and lightning can cause a 30 minute delay during or before a meet.
5. If a meet starts and has progressed to or beyond event #38, and the meet must be halted due to thunder and lightning with no chance of finishing the meet, then the meet is considered completed and scored through whatever event was completed last.
6. If a meet is canceled, the host team is responsible for checking with the visiting team-BEFORE THEY LEAVE-to set up a mutually agreeable date for a re-swim meet. If no date can be agreed upon, then the meet is considered final with a score of 0 to 0.
7. If a meet is rescheduled, please send the league President an e-mail with the date and time the new meet will take place so she/he can update the meet schedule on the league's web site.
8. Ensure team parents are educated about rain day meet rules.
