Why does KASL not keep score in Tiny Tots – 5th grade?

How do we find out about rainouts?

Fields are checked between 6:30 a.m. - 7:00 a.m. Determination is made and usually posted by 8:00 a.m. The following areas will have the notices changed:

How are game cancellations determined due to lightning?

KASL has a lightning detector at the referee tent to monitor conditions once games have started. If the fields and weather permit games to be continued but the lightning detector is showing lightning within 15 miles, the fields must be cleared, and the games are postponed for 15 minutes. At this time if the lightning has passed the game will continue. Games may be shortened to keep on schedule. If another 15 minutes is required to wait it will be determined whether to wait or reschedule the game. A game will only be rescheduled if it has not yet reached half time. If half time has been reached, then the game stands as played.

How are game rainouts determined?
