;	I understand some teams. Would like to get a early notice being that some travel far and have to plan ahead. If it`s going to rain tomorrow, is 100% a good chance the fields are closed. By what I saw on Fox news is going to rain for sure.

;	Its actually a 50% chance tomorrow night, but the bigger question will be field conditions. County will post a decision on that around 3:00. IF the games at Arrowhead are cancelled tomorrow night, those games will be moved to WED next week at lake FFX, and the games currently sched for lake FFX next WED will move to the open field the next night (THU).

;	Tom, can we switch those times around so that us and greyhounds don`t have to wait between games just to play a 1/2 game.... effect nobody but us and greyhounds, and they would be leaving at the same time as already scheduled

;	Thanks Tom. However you do it, we`d just rather not wait in between games if possible, and i think hollywood feels the same way. Looks like you changed it up a bit from what was originally posted (collision/hounds game), which means confirming more teams (Spartans), if they`re ok with the move, we are.
