Rainout Policy

The CRCA understands that inclement weather can be difficult to plan around for all
sports including ball, football, soccer and more.
To ensure that all groups understand the policy around rainouts and inclement weather
please read the following: effective June 4, 2018.

• Each day that it is raining or there is inclement weather and the fields may need to be closed,
  operations staff will do a check just prior to 4pm. If the fields need to be closed the operations
  staff will notify the front desk. The league organizer can then call 403-272-7170 at 4:00pm and
  get the update if fields are open or closed.
• On weekends if you are unsure if the fields will be open or closed please call the operations cell
  phone at 403-472-7171 and they will advise you of the status.
• If we close the fields the renters will NOT be charged and we will try to reschedule the games.
  The league will pay for the rental for the make-up games.
• If the CRCA leaves the fields open and the league decides it’s too cold or wet to play we will ask
  the league to reschedule and we will not charge. The league must let us know asap via email @
  admin@chestermerecrca.com if they are choosing not to play. If we do not have an email
  saying the fields were not used due to inclement weather by noon of the next business day then
  the league will be charged for the rental. This is only to be used in the case of inclement
  weather. The league will not be able to cancel for any other reason and must adhere to
  established CRCA cancellation policy of 30 days’ notice.
• If the league decides that games will be played and some teams do not show up then the league
  will still be charged for all the diamonds/field space in their rental agreement.
• If the league starts a game or plays a partial game and gets rained out before the rental time
  is complete the full rental fee will be charged.
• Note that the soccer and all grass fields rarely will be closed due to weather. Exceptions are
  lightening and severe weather. Ball diamonds may be closed more frequently due to the shale
  playing surface.
