• E.g., 9:30 a.m. game is rained out at 9:15 a.m.; therefore, 50% fee per game will be assessed for 9:30 a.m. game but no fee assessed for 11:15 a.m. game. Fields have already been prepared and staffing is already on site.

If the delay requires more than two (2) hours to get fields in a safe-playable condition, the games for that day will be canceled and a Show Up Fee will be charged. If games for the next day are canceled the night before due to inclement weather, then the Facility Use Agreement Fees will drop from the original agreement number of days to one less.
