9.1 Inclement Weather

The Competitive Sports Office will decide on cancellations by 4 p.m on days of games. On-site decisions will be made by the supervisor. Once games are canceled, fields are closed for play. Forfeits / defaults prior to cancelled games are the team’s responsibility.

 

In the event of cancelled games, the Competitive Sports Office will communicate via email and update games on IMLeagues. Please check your email regularly on gamedays in question of games being cancelled. 

9.2 Rescheduling Procedures Due to Weather

Regular Season games will not be rescheduled for any reason due to limited resources (fields, courts, staff).

 

Once playoffs have begun, if games are cancelled due to weather, the Competitive Sports Office will reschedule all playoff games.  See Section 4 – Scheduling for more information.

9.3 Lightning Detection

OSU uses a lightning detection system that will notify staff and participants that lightning is within 8 miles of the outdoor facility. The system will continue to flash until no lightning is detected for 30 minutes. The timer resets with each new strike. All outdoor facilities must be cleared, and participants must seek shelter until the “all clear” horn sounds and the strobe stops flashing.
