;	Tom, I know that if you`re playing on a turf field that rain doesn`t mess up the games and that the games are still on. But what if it`s a downpour, like the tropical storm we are "supposed to be getting." Is there any possibility the Turf games might be cancelled as well?

;	Looks like the rain will stop around 10:00 PM tonight, and then the chance of rain at any point on Sunday is 10% or 0%. Turf fields (Braddock Park & Pop Tree#2, #3) should all be fine for games Sunday. If we have to cancel Hook and BC, we`ll try to make that call early this evening after re-checking the fields. If there was a significant downpour that we felt would endanger the safety of the players we would voluntarily call those games.

;	Its a matter of the county as well, plus a safety issue. With the fields as wet and flooded as they are, we would go out there and tear them up, the county and parks and rec doesnt look on that too kindly. Just my few cents
