Rainout Information
All rainout information
will be posted on the website as soon as it
becomes available. We will also send
out an email/text
(depending on
what you have
chosen in your team's profile)
Nothing spoils an afternoon of baseball
more than a sudden downpour. Depending
on where we are playing, we may deal
with rainouts frequently or hardly ever.
It's our policy to provide updated information via
our website at soon as it become
available.
Unfortunately, those playing the 8am
games are at a disadvantage because many
times we simple do not have the
information on the field status before
you must leave. Many 8am games are
a "game time" decision.
PLEASE CONSIDER ALL GAMES PLAYABLE UNTIL
YOU HEAR OTHERWISE!
Umpire
Responsibility
The decision on
whether to suspend a game ultimately
rests with the game's head umpire. Bad
weather before a game begins can lead to
a rainout (or suspension) before the
teams even take the field. An umpire can
also decide to delay or suspend a game
once it has begun. A "delay" is a
temporary stoppage in play. A
"suspension" means the game is canceled
and must be rescheduled for another day.
If the game is put into a
"delay" status, it is the umpire's
responsibility to document the time
remaining, along with the exact game
situation (runners, batters count, ect)
on the official scorecard and home team
scorebook.
Official
Games
USSSA rules state that
if rain or bad weather suspends
a game after it has begun, the
game is considered "official" if
the teams have played at least
four innings (3.5 innings if the
home team is ahead). This means
the game will not be rescheduled
and the team leading when the
game was suspended wins. If
teams have played less than 3.5
innings, the game must be
rescheduled and finished at a
later date.
In the event we can not
reschedule the tournament,
awards, placings and points will
be award based upon the highest
remaining seeded teams from the
last COMPLETED bracket round.
Example, if we are playing (not
completed) the semi-final games
when the tournament is canceled,
we will revert back to the
quarter final games to determine
final standing. This hold
true even if one game of the two
semi final games are finished.
Cancellation
It is to ultimate goal of Texas
Tournament Baseball to play each and every
bracket; however, due to circumstance, we often
have to cancel or "push" to other date and
tournaments. Please review our refund policy
before making any decision if offered to
complete on a different date.
