4. Chapter 4: Lubbock Soccer Association Playing Rules

    4.9. FOUL WEATHER PROCEDURE

          4.9.1. Unless otherwise notified by the League/Conference Commissioner, all teams
                   must report to the playing field for their assigned games. Any team failing to
                   have the minimum number of players available will forfeit the game. The Referee
                   will be the sole judge of whether the game may begin.

          4.9.2. If a game is suspended because of field or weather conditions before the second
                   half of play has begun, that game will be replayed in its entirety. If the second
                   half of play has begun, that game will be considered a full, complete game. Any
                   game scheduled and not played, due to field or weather conditions, will be
                   rescheduled by the League/Conference Commissioner. In the event a team
                  
refuses to play because of questionable field or weather conditions, the coach
                   shall protest the situation to the Referee. The Referee’s decision may be
                   appealed to the League/Conference Commissioner, then to the Youth
                   Commissioner, then to the Board of Directors.
