Stoppage/Schedules/Holidays

Every league start/end dates and game times are posted online.  Start/end dates and game times are subject to change based on field availability, rainouts, and unforeseen circumstances, which may arise. Team schedules are posted after registration is closed and all payments have been received.  Schedule requests must come from team captains, and must be submitted in writing at least three [3] business days prior to the start of Week 1 games.  SFCS or SOCO reserves the right to schedule any team for any of the advertised dates and game times posted on the league homepage.  These dates could shift causing an extension of league play if a league suffers several rainouts during the advertised months.  Bye requests will likely result in teams playing doubleheaders before or after their week off.

STOPPAGE GAME TIMES:

Being in South Florida, we do happen to experience our fair share of weather issues.  Game stoppage could be for any reason that prevents us from finishing a game (weather, lightning, lights malfunction, running out of time on the field, park error, injury….etc).  Games that are in progress will be considered a legal game and score based on the following rules:

HOLIDAYS 

Games that fall on religious holidays that occur on dates other than recognized statutory holidays by the federal government will not be rescheduled by South Florida or SOCO Club Sport.  Individuals and teams affected by this policy are absolutely free to choose not to play their games; however, South Florida or SOCO Club Sport will not be responsible for rescheduling of games or any financial damages for teams or individuals wishing to observe their religious holidays.
