Rainout Information
All rainout information will be posted on the website as soon as it becomes available. We will also send out an email/text
(depending on what you have chosen in your team's profile)
Nothing spoils an afternoon of baseball more than a sudden downpour. Depending on where we are playing, we may deal with rainouts frequently or hardly ever.
It's our policy to provide updated information via our website at soon as it become available.
Unfortunately, those playing the 8am games are at a disadvantage because many times we simple do not have the information on the field status before you must leave. Many 8am games are a "game time" decision.
PLEASE CONSIDER ALL GAMES PLAYABLE UNTIL YOU HEAR OTHERWISE!
· Umpire Responsibility
The decision on whether to suspend a game ultimately rests with the game's head umpire. Bad weather before a game begins can lead to a rainout (or suspension) before the teams even take the field. An umpire can also decide to delay or suspend a game once it has begun. A "delay" is a temporary stoppage in play. A "suspension" means the game is canceled and must be rescheduled for another day.
If the game is put into a "delay" status, it is the umpire's responsibility to document the time remaining, along with the exact game situation (runners, batters count, ect) on the official scorecard.
· Official Games
NYEB rules state that if rain or bad weather suspends a game after it has begun, the game is considered "official" if the teams have played at least THREE innings (2.5 innings if the home team is ahead). This means the game will not be rescheduled and the team leading when the game was suspended wins. If teams have played less than 2.5 innings, the game must be rescheduled and finished at a later date.
Cancellation
It is to ultimate goal of New York Elite Baseball to play each and every bracket; however, due to circumstance, we may have to cancel or "push" to other times. Please review our refund policy for more intormation
