In the event of adverse weather or unplayable field conditions, the tournament director reserves the right to:
*Reduce game times in order to catch up with schedule
*Finish games before inclement weather arrives, or to preserve field conditions.
*Reschedule games, if possible.
*Convert tournament to a "festival" format without playoffs or championships to provide the majority of teams the opportunity to play as many games as possible.
Every attempt will be made to update cancellations on the website. However, weather conditions can change rapidly and all teams should be prepared to play as soon as weather and fields are playable. In the event of cancellation of the tournament. A complete weather refund policy is below.

Thank you in advance for your Cooperation
If thunder or lightning is observed play will be suspended immediately and players and fans will be asked to leave the field. Play will be allowed to resume 20 minutes after the last sound of thunder or sighting of lightning is observed. If a game is in progress, the period will end immediately. If it is the second half, the game will be considered final and the score at that point will be recorded. If it is the first half, when play resumes it will be the start of the second half. Every attempt will be made to begin subsequent games on time. If the start of the second half of the suspended game delays the onset of the subsequent games the following actions will occur:
The game suspended will play one 20 minute running time second half. Subsequent games will begin immediately after preceding games. These games will consist of one 35 minute running time period until games are back on schedule. Teams will have one 30 second timeout per game (during which the clock will not stop), not to be used in the last two minutes.Once games are back on schedule they will revert to two 20 minute running time periods.
We will make every attempt to play every minute of every game but will not jeopardize the safety of any player.
All games canceled due to weather will be considered a 4-2 win for both teams.
WEATHER REFUND POLICY
No team will receive a full refund. In the event of a cancellation, teams are invited to authorize donation of their registration fee (less a $100 administrative fee) directly to The Depression Bipolar Support Association (www.DBSAHouston.org). This would be a tax-deductible contribution.
No refunds will be issued for games canceled for reasons other than weather (forfeits, no shows, etc.).
