Both Coaches must agree.

To postpone or pre-pone a scheduled BAYS travel team game, a coach should refer to the BAYS Rule Book which was distributed at the BAYS coaches meeting, and is also available in a .pdf file format on the BAYS website. We recommend that you read the rule book on this and other points before the season begins, EACH season...
 
Rescheduling games due to religious holidays or tournament weekends, both worthy choices, are freely available to individual teams, should be handled in the same way. Weather-related or unusual field conflict-related postponements should be handled in the same manner. In short, this aforedescribed method is THE ONLY METHOD

The Director of Scheduling will inform the Director of Referees of the details of time, place, and level for rescheduled games, and a referee will be assigned, if available. coaches can be confident every effort will be made to get referees for these make-up games, without chasing them down and paying them yourselves. On rare occasions when we can't get you a referee, 9 times out of 10 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.

Due to the limited number of fields, the easiest time and site normally used by either team for its weekly practice. A rescheduled makeup game will be given first priority for field use in ALL cases. This means that another team may be "bumped" from a regularly scheduled practice. The coaches playing the makeup game should contact the "bumped" coach in advance, 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).

See you on the pitch!
