Field Scheduler
The following is copied from the 5D League operating rules and policies:
3.1.4 Notification of Field changes
If the home team’s grass field closes the away team must be notified immediately (see grass/grass, gravel/gravel rule.)
Home teams may move fields on game day. However the away team has the right to refuse the change if the game cannot be started within 45 minutes of the original scheduled time.
3.2 Grass/Grass, Gravel/Gravel rule
If the away team is notified that the home team’s field is gravel, the away team may invoke this rule. The away team must notify the home team that they are trying to arrange for a grass field. Once a field is assigned call the home team. This call must be made by 12:00 noon on Saturday to move the game to the away team’s field.
Similarly if neither team has a grass field and the home team does not have a field assigned, this rule may be invoked and the game played on a gravel field at the away team
For the purpose of determine good/better/best in terms of field surface use the following rated from best to worst.
- Grass or Infilled Artificial Turf
- Astro Turf - (Livinstone, Hamber or Coquitlam Town Centre)
- Sand/gravel
Please note that the Girls Metro League may have different rules please check their operating manual.
