Brentwood Ball Club Game Cancellation Policy for Games & Practices
In the event of adverse weather (rain, prolonged lightning, abnormally high winds) prior to games and practices, the following lists our approach to the cancellation of field usage where weather impacts us prior to 4:00PM weekdays or 8:00AM on weekends:

(a) Civitan Park: The decision is made by club personnel by 4:00PM on weekdays, by 7:30AM on Saturdays and by 11:00AM on Sundays. In case of cancellation, the club with tweet (@bwoodcivitan) as the first notice. Second, the field status link on the website will be updated. By default, it will always say OPEN. Third, for a cancellation, the club will send an email blast.
(b) Granny White Park: The decision is made by Brentwood Parks and Recreation Department. Updates to their 615-373-8310 hotline are provided weekdays by 3:30PM and Saturday mornings by 7:30AM. Our notifications follow the order in section (a).
(c) Crockett Park: The decision is made by Brentwood Parks and Recreation Department. Updates to their 615-373-7752 hotline are provided weekdays by 3:30PM and Saturday mornings by 7:30AM. Our notifications follow the order in section (a).

In the event of lightning, any field usage is to stop (everyone off the field, seek shelter) and must wait 20 minutes for all clear.

At Crockett Park, a lightning detection system is in place to detect lightning across a 3-mile radius. The system will notify by intercom that lightning has been detected and to seek shelter. If you are at Crockett, these are the requirements to follow – off the field until the 20 minutes have expired. In the event of lightning strikes continuing to be detected, the park will be closed.

At all other parks where a detection system is not in place, visual observation is used.

We will not send emails to notify fields are open, only when they are closed.

In the summer and fall, any game once started will not be replayed/rescheduled

For the spring, below is how we will handle the scoring of baseball games and any in-house softball games where the game is stopped by weather, depending on when the game is stopped:
1.  If the game is stopped during the 1st inning, the game will be rescheduled and restarted in its entirety.
2.  If the game is stopped during the 2nd inning, the game will restart with the same conditions (i.e. who is on base, outs) and be completed based on the remaining time UNLESS more than half the game time has been used and one team leads by 7 or more. The final score is recorded as when stopped.
3.   If the game is stopped during the 3rd inning or later, the game will be determined as complete, based on the score for the last completed inning.

We will reschedule games with 48-hour notice.
