Apparently you didn't pray enough.
Is the decision to be made at field due to the late hour?

Of course now it's looking like it's clearing up. Everybody in the city has cancelled their games, but maybe we all jumped the gun.
I can understand some people being upset if it's clear at 7pm, but I'm sure more of you would've been upset driving to the field at 6pm only to have the game cancelled.
Trust me, it's way more work for us to reschedule games than it is to just have you show up, so I'm likely more upset than you are. Next time maybe we'll wait a bit longer.
Sorry,
marc

It's all the Bondiddy Bengal's fault. Every time they have a game it's a rainout.

I'd say it was a good call. It was raining cats & dogs here in EK/Elmwood a few minutes ago with hail and thunder with some lightning. Not sure how it is in the South & West though.

Downtown it was hailing at one point, all while the sun was shining.

Just don't schedule the Bengals and Anvils on the same day and the weather curse may go away. Our one and only game so far was against the Bengals and it was a windy evening even for optimist. Two rain delays since then...I'd like to lodge a formal complaint if someone could tell me where to send the documentation.

Apparently the other factor is Andy as one of your refs. He's been assigned to games on every rained out night so far. Something is definitely up here.

Not sure where you are located, but it is absolutely pouring in Transcona right now. Anyone know what is happening in sunny Saint James?

Oh goody, Rain all week. I vote we play unless Lightning strikes. If Timbits soccer and little leage softball can brave the rain, so can we.

It's usually about protecting the fields. I don't care if you guys get soaked :)

We should be happy, it's like we all got relocated to Vancouver for free. Except that this would be winter there...

Move the Bengals games inside to the Dome! I bet it's cheap to rent out in the Summer!
Or just re-schedule all Monday night games. Hasn't it rained every Monday?
How about we build that extra field (no posts) at L'esperance or Optr(baseball diamonds)

WTFL Dome
Surely Maple Grove has an answer for us by now.

Bondiddy has just set a new season record (that I can remember) for rainouts. They are also undefeated and at this rate will not be challenged.
I'm thinking if we ever get a nice day on a weekend we should just have a bondiddy bengals tournament. Every team from Div A can show up and take turns playing them so that they can get their games in.

Anvils aren't far behind as this is our 3rd rainout in a row. We've only played one game and that was against Bondiddy (how the hell did we manage that?) Ah yes, no rain, but gale force winds. Hopefully our 1st rescheduled game for this Sat. will not get rained out as well.

I do apologize! It seems anytime I'm scheduled to ref it turns out to be a rain out. I even gave my game this past monday away to try and shake the jinx but to no avail. The good news is that I have very few games left this half that I'm scheduled to ref so there should be better weather on the way.

Hmmm Thundershowers for Thursday all of a sudden...
Maybe we should just play on the fly. if we see sun, ditch work and just play ball.

The games were played but the Bondiddy rain curse continues. Perfectly clear sky for first game than Bondiddy takes the field for game two and out of no where the clouds roll in and rain starts.
They should rent themselves out to drought stricken areas.
