ABYS Rescheduling
and Canceling Games
To RESCHEDULE or CANCEL a travel game or town game, please fill out the
online form click
here.
Games to be rescheduled due to
religious holidays, tournament weekends, weather issues, field
conflicts, or any other reason are processed in the same manner.
This is the ONLY method to cancel or reschedule.
To postpone or pre-pone a scheduled BAYS travel team game, refer to
the BAYS Rule Book
available on the BAYS website for any special considerations and
deadlines. We recommend that you read the rule book on this and
other points, EACH season.
For Town games, both Coaches should agree.
Due to the limited number of fields, the best time and site for
rescheduling a game is normally one of the teams' weekly practice
slots. Rescheduled makeup games take priority over practices.
This means that another team may be displaced or "bumped" from a
regularly scheduled practice. Although the bumped coach is normally
contacted as part of the rescheduling process, the coaches playing
the makeup game should confirm that the bumped coach is aware of the
change, so that she or he may make other arrangements for practice
(e.g. at the practice time and site used by one of the teams playing
the makeup game).
Upon submission of the form, e-mail is sent to the Field and Referee
Schedulers. The Referee Scheduler will cancel the referee for the
original game. The Field Scheduler will allocate a field slot and
inform the submitter and the Referee Scheduler the details of time,
place, and level for the rescheduled game, and a referee or referees
will be assigned. Coaches can be confident every effort will be made
to get referees for these make-up games. When either the field
scheduler or referee scheduler is away, the submission e-mail is
redirected to a backup.
Note that this is not an instantaneous process!
Consider providing several days notice at minimum -- a week or more
is better -- to preserve the sanity and marriages of the schedulers.
More lead time is a good thing.
On very rare occasions when we can't get you a referee, you'll know
about it beforehand. In the rare case where EVERYTHING goes wrong,
play the game. Talk to the visiting coach. Offer him the whistle, or
split duty by halves.
See you on the pitch!
