VAIL CUP WEATHER PROTOCOL 1) Games may be canceled or suspended when fields are not playable due to rain, low air temperature, excessively high winds or lightning. 2) The responsibility of game cancellation, shortened games or temporary suspension of games will rest with the Tournament Administration. Final judgement will be that of the tournament representative. Penalty Kicks will be utilized to determine winners of games canceled due to weather. (*5 kicker format) 3) In the event that play has been stopped by the field Referee, Head Referee or Tournament Administration, the score at the stoppage of play will be the final game score if at least one half was completed and if play is not resumed as ordered by tournament administration. 4) In the case of bad weather the referee and field marshals will notify everyone to clear the fields. Do not leave the complex until games are officially canceled. Participants and supporters should leave the playing area and go directly to their cars. 5) We will use the Weather Bug app to monitor lightning if necessary. If lighting strikes are detected within 10 miles all players and coaches must seek shelter. Once the Spark tab shows that there are no lightning strikes within 10 miles away, players must wait 30 minutes to return to the fields. (If lightning strikes are detected again within 10 miles, the 30 minute clock starts again) We look forward to having you join us in a few weeks for a great weekend of soccer.
