Lightning, Inclement Weather and Air Quality Cancellation Policy

In the event of lightning prior to or during the game, the game will be stopped immediately and will be delayed up to 30 minutes. Should more lightning occur within that 30 minute delay then the game will be abandoned.

Meridian PAL games are seldom canceled for weather, however games may be canceled by the League during severe storms or when determined necessary by league administration. For Flag Football and Soccer, games are not typically canceled for light rain or snow occurring the day of the game.  Baseball may be cancelled for light rain. 

In the event a game is abandoned after the second half has begun the score will stand and the game is final. If the game is abandoned prior to, or during the first half, every effort will be made to reschedule the game, which will need to be replayed in its entirety. PAL cannot guarantee all games will be rescheduled.

Air Quality Index (AQI)

Air Quality Index 

All practices and games will be cancelled if the AQI is in the RED zone (over 151) or higher.

Some persons may be affected when the AQI is in the Orange zone (101-150), therefore, Meridian PAL will leave practice and game participation to the discretion of the individual players parents.  If a coach believes that the orange air quality is a detriment to his or her team they have the discretion to cancel practice.  If they wish to cancel the game they should consult with their league director or league commissioner..
