Procedures for Cancelling and Rescheduling Games,
and Confirming Weekly Field Schedules

 


The following is an outline of the procedures for canceling and rescheduling games, and for confirming weekly field schedules.

Please review and adhere to these procedures. Our aim is to align fields and umpires with our game schedules only as needed. Field preparation requires resources, and umpires cost money. Communication is key to our success.

Weather cancellations - Cancellations due to weather typically occur on the day of the game. Our Inclement Weather Procedure states that both teams are to report to the field unless directed otherwise by GIYRA or other governing bodies.  

Head Coaches of the home team are responsible for communicating all game cancellations to the Head Coach of the visiting team.

In all cases, GIYRA will communicate game cancellations to the appropriate parties responsible for the preparation of fields and scheduling of the umpires.

Rescheduling Games
Rescheduling of games is the responsibility of the Head Coach of the home team.
To secure a field and accompanying resources for a requested rescheduled game, the Head Coach shall visit the 2022 GIYRA Field Schedule Master on Google docs, identify a field and time for the rescheduled game and send a request for a new field assignment to the appropriate parties on the Email Communication List provided.

The Head Coach requesting the new field assignment shall provide ample notice to allow the Director of Fields Scheduling, and the Director of Umpires Scheduling to secure the necessary resources for the rescheduled game. A minimum lead time of one week is required unless special approval by the Director of Fields Scheduling has been granted.

Once the rescheduled field assignment is confirmed, the Head Coach is to communicate confirmation of the rescheduled date, field, and time to the Head Coach of the visiting team.
