Hot weather - training cancelled
With the weather above 41°C, and not looking to abate, there will be no training tonight.
All players are asked to be there by 2:30, in order to watch the Mixed. Remember it is a double header, so bring lots of water. We are hoping to have a couple of eskies full of ice, but if anyone wants to bring their own, that would be great. We are also hoping to have some shades out, and again anyone with a shade structure is welcome to bring that too.
Gavin will announce the Womens teams by SMS later tonight, and Ban may do the same for the Mens - he's on 'the range' as we speak, so I think that means he is 'working'.
As for cancellation information about Sunday - this is the info from the Conditions of Entry:
Hot weather policy is a temperature of 41 degrees or higher as at 2pm on the Sunday of competition on the Bureau of Meteorology website http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDS65000.shtml, listing for Kent Town.
If the temperature is 41 degrees, games will be cancelled and rescheduled to the following week, creating a double-header if one is not already programmed. If the double-header round is cancelled, the games will be rescheduled to the next two (2) scheduled weeks, creating a double-header on these weeks.
If the temperature is 39-40 degrees at either of the above times, games will go ahead on the scheduled date, but will be postponed by a minimum of 1-hour with modified games played as 4 x 10 minute quarters with a 2 minute break between the first and second, and third and fourth quarters, and a 5 minute break at half time. This format will continue until Touch SA announces a return to the normal game format, guided by a drop in temperature below 39 degrees.
If you SMS 'stateleague' to 19 30 30, you will get up to date info as to the cancellation status. This service will be updated hourly from 12noon on the 22nd January.
See you all this weekend!
