Inclement weather policy for the Genthe Super Cup
The tournament will follow US Soccer’s position statement that indicates when lightning is seen, the tournament will count the time until thunder is heard. If this time is thirty (30) seconds or less, seek shelter. Wait thirty (30) minutes or more after hearing the last thunder before resuming activities. Regardless of weather conditions, other than the examples below, coaches and their teams MUST appear on the field of play, ready to play as scheduled (unless currently on a thunder or lightning delay). Failure to appear will result in forfeiture of the game. Only referees and/or Tournament Director can cancel or postpone a game.
• Inclement weather before game: In cases of severe weather conditions before play, referees and/or the Tournament Directors MAY reduce the length of the game by 50%.
• Inclement weather during game: Should a game’s progress be terminated due to weather conditions after 20 minutes of play, the game will be considered official and the score at that time will stand. Any game terminated before the 20-minute mark of the first half will be a 0-0 tie.
• If the weather situation in the discretion of the tournament becomes so severe, then games may be decided based on a coin toss, but only as a last resort. The Tournament in its discretion may utilize Memorial Day as a rain date.
