     5/17 FIELD STATUS THREAD

10:43 PM

We should be getting a lot of rain tonight, which should taper off at 8:00 AM and stop by 10:00 AM.

ECL#2 and Lake Fairfax should be a definate go for tomorrow, since there is no lightening in the forecast.

Baron Cameron, Herndon and Hook are not looking good at this time.

Tomorrow morning, at or just before 7:00 AM, we`ll make a call for the grass fields.

HOWEVER, due to the forecast and the fact that the fields were good today, it is possible (espcially at Hook) that we could call the early games (8:00 and 9:10) at 7:00, but defer a call on the later games (10:20, 11:30 & 12:40) until 9:00/9:15.

We really need to get in as many games as possible tomorrow.

Update09:18 AM

All Baron Cameron games are cancelled today...

Update09:21 AM

What about Herndon?

FAN10:47 AM

When will these games be made up?

TOM
league commissioner
3:38 PM

All make-ups games will be 5/31. We need more extra field space to make-up the 6 additional rained out games from today, so if anyone has a large flat back yard at least 80 yards long and 50 across, please email me. (though it should be obvious to 99% of you, to that 1% - I am just kidding).



to tom5:55 PM

When 7:59 PM
