[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear Coach / Manager: With deep regret, we must advise you that all games on November 17 and 18 at the EDP CUP FALL SHOWCASE 2018 GIRLS are cancelled, effective immediately. Despite substantial effort to get the fields prepped, the new round of rainfall starting Thursday is proving too much for the already saturated fields. As we noted previously, November has already experienced twice the normal precipitation for the month, and the current forecasts for the Hammonton, NJ area indicate that the rain that has started will exceed an inch and a half before it is done. After the rainfall last week, and the rain on Tuesday, that amount of additional water is just too much to have drain through the weekend. While the weekend itself may wind up being pleasant and sunny, the fields themselves will remain unplayable and unsafe for competition. All the facilities we were expecting to use for this event have now individually informed us this morning that they are withdrawing their usage. EDP personnel have inspected each of the facilities today after receiving these notifications, and we cannot dispute these decisions. We did want to get this information to you as quickly as possible so you can adjust your plans expeditiously. With regard to hotel rooms booked with Titan Lodging, the hotels are being informed of the cancellation. Consequently, there is no need to individually cancel rooms for your respective hotels. Thank[/quote] That will be disappointing for the kids that were going to play in that tournament, but kudos to the leadership of that tournament for communicating effectively with the teams that were participating in that tournament and making a decision prior to everyone traveling to it. That was the primary complaint in this thread about last weekend's girls Premier Cup for the U14s and below: If the fields are not playable, then just cancel the tournament for those age groups, instead of forcing everyone to travel to it, and then make decisions to cancel some games, reduce game times to 15 minute halves so all teams can play another game on a muddy field, etc.[/quote]
