I was just wondering if anyone knew when that first postponed game was going to be made up. It said at the end of the season, but does that mean that it would be May 22 and the playoffs would be pushed back? Also, if we`re rained out this week, will we lose out on playing the game, or will it be squeezed in before the playoffs? Thanks.

;	I hope the league allows for up to 2 make-up games this season, even if it means 2 games on the same day at the end of the regular season. We only had 7 scheduled to begin with, I believe Henrico and Richmond play a couple more. A 5 game season will make it more difficult to seed a tourney as well.

;	My understanding was that Week 1 games would be played on 22 May. Playoffs would start on 5 June after the Memorial Day weekend passed. If we get a second rainout, it will have the effect of compressing the playoff schedule into double-headers of death...

;	We`ve built in 3 additional weeks for make-up games. The double header weeks actually build in an extra week. We`re looking fine - even if tomorrow is a wash. We don`t cancel games without going out and looking at the fields at least twice on the weekends (Saturday afternoon and early Sunday morning). In cases where its obvious the fields will be closed Sunday, we can make an early call Saturday evening on game cancellations. In the case of this weekend - this should be a Sunday morning call - and its possible that if some fields are cancelled, others might still be open for play. We`ll know more later tonight after checking the fields. ~Tom
