RAIN DELAY PROCEDURES From RSL Rules

 

8.6. Rain delays/ postponements.
8.6.1. Before the start of the season, each RSL team shall provide a rain date for each of their home meets. These rain dates need to be scheduled in a timely fashion to conform to the
requirements of the "seeding party".
8.6.2. Prior to the official start of the meet, the RSL representatives for the competing teams may agree to reschedule the meet due to adverse weather conditions.
8.6.3. By mutual consent of the two RSL representatives a meet may be suspended due to inclement weather once the meet has officially started. If the Representatives cannot agree, the
Referee will be the deciding authority. In the event of lightning a minimum delay of 20 Minutes is required (home team regulations, if longer, will apply). Each succeeding sighting of
lightning requires an additional minimum delay of 20 minutes. In cooperation with the home pool the referee may determine when the teams can reenter the water and continue the meet.
8.6.4. Once a meet is suspended due to adverse weather conditions, the meet can be rescheduled once cumulative weather delays exceed one (1) hour. Such a decision should not be made prior
to 7:30pm. A suspended meet cannot be continued after 10:00pm, unless each team's RSL Representative agrees.
8.6.5. Any rescheduled or resumed meet must take place prior to "seeding party" deadline.
8.6.6. If a meet must be rescheduled due to inclement weather, the rain date provided by the home team shall be the date utilized for the meet. A resumed suspended meet shall continue at
the point the meet was suspended.
8.6.7. If a meet cannot be completed on either the scheduled date or the rain date, the RSL Representatives may mutually consent to reschedule the meet on another date. If an agreement
cannot be reached for rescheduling a meet, the home team RSL Representative shall submit a written report to the Board detailing the reasons the meet cannot be completed.
8.6.8. The results of a meet that cannot be completed under the steps detailed in the above sections shall be scored as follows:
8.6.8.1. If 46 events have been completed at the time of the meet's suspension, the meet score as of the last fully completed event will determine the winner.
8.6.8.2. If less than 46 events have been completed in a meet that cannot be continued, no winner or loser will be declared. Any completed events will be eligible for use in
qualifying for the Championship Meet and for RSL, Inc. league records.
