Inclement Weather Information:In the event of a severe storm, participants should seek shelter in their cars. A blast of 5+ horns signifies a weather emergency. The tournament staff will make every attempt to provide as much advance notice as possible if a storm is approaching the area. Coaches should ensure that they have their bus driver’s cell phone # (if applicable) so the buses can be summoned quickly. Updates during a weather delay will be given first via the GroupMe and second via email. The Neuqua Knockout 2023 schedule will be the “MASTER” version of the schedule if changes are needed.
Weather Contingency Plan: If lightning is spotted 10 miles out, games will be suspended and the weather delay will continue until we reach a period of 30 minutes without lightning. If games are interrupted during the day, we will consider the following in making changes to the schedule:
Games may go until 6pm on Saturday evening
Games may start at 8am on Sunday morning
The last games on Sunday will finish by 4:00pm
Time between games may be shortened to 10-15 minutes
Games may be shortened to 65 minutes and 11 points
Pool play or crossover games may be clipped in favor of a straight bracket
Games that are past half-time may be called “as is”
