Game Times/Postponements/Forfeits:
1. Game schedules will be posted on the website and at the concession stand.
2. The AGSL website will be updated in case of inclement weather. A push notification will be sent to the app in the event of cancellations. An email will also be sent to the email address of the registering user. On weekdays, the website will be updated and notifications will be sent by 5:00pm, on weekends please check for updates approximately one hour prior to game time. If no message is
posted, assume your game is on.
3. Games must start on time. A team can start play if missing players when players are expected by borrowing players from the opposing team to fill outfield positions until other players arrive. Any player coming after the start of the game should be added at the bottom of the line-up. Remember this is an instructional league and forfeits are not encouraged.
4. Home and away teams may coordinate warming up with the general guidelines being that the home team will use the field 30 minutes before the game starts for a duration of 15 minutes, and the visiting team will use the field for the remaining 15 minutes. Warmups should be no more than 30 minutes prior to game start time. In no case should a game start time be delayed for additional warm-up time.
5. No inning for any game can start after 1 hour and 30 minutes after the scheduled start time and there is a hard stop 2 hours after the scheduled start time. There are no playoffs in fall ball.
6. Darkness and/or weather may stop a game at any point as agreed on by the Coaches, Umpires and Director on Duty. Warning: If there is any sign of lightning and/or thunder, even in the distance, games should stop immediately. Teams should take shelter under concession stand picnic areas and not resume play unless lightning and/or thunder free for 30 minutes.
7. No request to reschedule a game can be made less than 7 days prior to the scheduled game. A failure to attend the game will result in a forfeit. All requests to reschedule a game must be made with the opposing coaches’ consent and a request to reschedule sent to the scheduler. There is no guarantee that a rescheduling request will be granted as it is based upon field availability and availability of the opposing team. A forfeit counts towards the games played in a season.
