Weather Policies

COLD WEATHER
If the ambient temperature at the scheduled start of the game is below 40 degrees, or we have a wind chill below 30 degrees, that game will be postponed or canceled. This policy has been put in
place for the safety of the players and so that there is consistency on whether or not a game starts on any given day at the beginning of the season. As with any postponement or cancellation,
notification of a change in the schedule will be made via the BNLL website (www.boonell.com

), the BNLL Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/BooneNationalLittleLeague), and through the Sports Connect email alert.

Practice cancellation will be the decision of the coaches in charge of the team, although the cold weather policy will be a guideline for them to use for their practices as well. Notifications of practice
changes will come directly from the coaches themselves.

LIGHTNING
When the lightning detector, or Little League approved weather app, detects lightning at the 3-8 mile distance, the BNLL Board of Directors members who are on duty will suspend and stop all play with an announcement over the intercom system.
• All players, coaches and umpires will vacate the field and enter their team dugout.
• All spectators will take shelter under the canopy between the bathrooms and the concession stand, the canopy to the west of the concession stand or under the canopy to the south of the Little League Headquarters.
• Once play is suspended, a wait period of at least 15 minutes after the last flash of lightning is witnessed, thunder is heard, or the detector indicates lightning in the 3-8 mile range, must apply before resumption of play. The Board of Directors members on duty shall make the determination if another 15 minute wait period should be implemented based on current conditions.
• The Board of Directors members on duty will make the final decision pertaining to when play can resume or if field conditions are unsafe to continue play.
• The Board of Directors members on duty will announce over the intercom when play can resume.
