Checking on Game or Field Status
Cancelled Games
See the Master Schedule or the schedule posted on your Team page to determine game status. Games cancelled because of rain or other reasons are crossed out. It is possible that the field is open for the morning games and then closes for the later games due to changing weather conditions.

Reporting Rainouts or Game Cancellations
It is the responsibility of the home team’s Club Commissioner to determine if a field is playable and report game cancellations as early as possible so opponents can avoid making unnecessary trips to your town. When there is a rainout or some other reason that games cannot be played on a field it is the responsibility of the home team’s Club Commissioner or their designee to cancel the games.
