Wet weather

  1. Matches can be affected by wet weather and very hot weather. 
  2. if the weather is poor an hour or so before starting time, Diego will notify the team captain or the whole team via text.
  3. If you arrive to the venue and the weather turns poor, you can try delaying play by 10 or so minutes and see how it is. Text Diego/Michele if in doubt.
  4. The team marshall to decide.
  5. If heavy rain or the temperatue exceeds 36 degrees, call a washout or extreme heat. Write this on the sheet.
  6. Wet courts sometimes require baggingor rolling with the roller located on the courts. Adults will need to volunteer to bag and roll the courts. Try to spread the clay around over the puddles. Roll the water away to the outside of the courts. Be mindful that the rollers are very heavy. If courts are patchy, sweep or bag the courts to help spread the clay over the patches. Remind players to bag the courts before and after matches and to sweep the lines themselves.
  7. If in doubt as to what to do, call Diego or Michele. The aim is to always play. Checkthe fixture to see if another team is playing after you.
  8. Their scoresheets will be on the table and you can check the schedule on the noticeboard.
