Any chance this decision gets reversed if it doesn't rain anymore?

The city of Winnipeg issues permits to recreational groups etc. one of the stipulations says that if the fields are wet they are not to be used. Secondly, when the conditions including wet fields cause players to slip and slide and possibly injure themselves, that would be a second condition, to cancel or call a game.
Third when lightning is evident, games should be called as well.

Today at Tec we had all three conditions.

and yes the rain cells come and go however after rain the night before the field was saturated. Coupled with a little rain since, the fields really become in jeopardy of being torn up, and a resultant grass less site the rest of the year so just because it has become sunny out, the fields really need a couple days to dry out..

So we should respect those principles!p

Fields are underwater so despite it looking nice outside the fields are unplayable. All the water lately has saturated the fields. Believe us, we would much rather you guys (and my team) be playing today rather than now being couped up in front of a computer trying to figure out where all the rescheduled games are going to go!

Horde has been scheduled to play the Jeffery 4 times this year...each and every game has been rained out. The main reason why my team has only got 3 f'n games in so far this year! Sigh.
