;	The county is pretty conservative when calling games for rain. They don`t like thier fields torn up and its not the pop warner that does that.

;	Games are called for lightening, or if the fields are too wet to play on without risking damage to the fields, or if it is continuously raining at more than a drizzle. In some of those cases, officials may elect to suspend play for a while to see if weather conditions change. Cancellation of games in progress are at the discretion of the officials. We have had a drought for some time, so those field should be able to absorb some rain.

;	When are the games rescheduled if there is a rain out? The end of the season? And where do we check for cancellations? Just thinking that a band from this hurricane could produce some heavy rain at times and some thunder this evening.
