CITY PLAYOFFS STATUS UPDATE
Updated June 20, 2019 11:30 PM
The EYSA City Playoff Committee has determined that despite current conditions there is still time left to conduct a revised playoff schedule this weekend. No games will be played on Friday.
A new schedule is being created and will be available on Tourney Machine no later than 8:00 PM on Friday.
However, due to time limitations, diamond availability and diamond conditions, all categories and divisions have be reduced to a single elimination bracket with games already played counting. Any team, in any division, that played and lost on Tuesday has been eliminated from the 2019 city playoffs and will not be scheduled games in the new bracket.
Teams should also be aware that the committee has determined that games will only be scheduled at Henry Singer, Leduc and Legal diamonds as these diamonds offer the best chance to be open this weekend.
Game length for all categories and divisions has been set to "no new inning" after 90 minutes. Home team will be determined by a coin toss by the plate umpire prior to the game. All teams are asked to come prepared to supply two game balls to the plate umpire at each game. These game balls do not need to be new and the plate umpire will determine if they are suitable for use. All teams should be prepared to setup diamonds wherever necessary and are asked to help keep diamonds maintained between games when possible.
One umpire will be scheduled for ALL games at all levels and whenever possible double coverage will be used. The umpires will be working very long hard hours this weekend to make this happen for us, so please treat them with absolute respect and gratitude.
