The tournament will most likely proceed regardless of the weather conditions. Please come appropriately prepared for all weather conditions.
In the unlikely situation where the weather is so inclement, or field conditions are unsuitable or unsafe, that the tournament cannot proceed then the following will occur:
- Papamoa FC will endeavour to make any such decision by 5pm on the day before the tournament.
- If rain is forecast, additional field checks will be done between 6.20am and 6.40am on the morning of the tournament.
- The very latest that a call to cancel will be made is 6.45am. All efforts will be made to do this before this time.
- An email will be sent out to all teams advising that the tournament has been cancelled.
- All teams will also be notified by text message.
