21. In the event of a rain out where the games cannot be made up, winners will be declared based on highest seed from pool play that advanced the furthest, either in pool or bracket play. No refunds after 2 games have been played. In the event of rain where 2 pool games cannot be played, 1 pool game will determine seeding into bracket games. In the event of inclement weather where pool are impacted where all scheduled games cannot be played, the top 1st and 2nd seeds of each bracket will be assigned to the championship games. As a last resort if where Sunday games cannot be played at all, trophies will be awarded to the top 2 seeds or the top 2 remaining teams. For example, if the 1st seed played a bracket game and was upset by the 4th seed, however the next round of games are rained out, the 4th seeded team became one of the top two teams remaining and would be awarded a trophy. The format may be changed to lesser time limits or fewer innings to complete the tournament. Coaches and players accept these conditions when entering the tournament. RAIN: In the event of rain, lightning or light failure a game is considered complete after 3 innings have been played (or 2½ if the home team is ahead at that time).
Adverse weather:
In the event of inclement weather we reserve the right to change the schedule and the changes could include weekday play. We will make every effort to get the tournament in. But if conditions dictate, game times, length and format can be adjusted. In the event of a total cancellation (zero games played) a $75.00 administration fee per team will be retained. If only one (1) game is completed, fifty percent of the entry will be refunded. If two (2) games are completed the entry fee will be considered satisfied.
