Forecast not looking good for playoff games this weekend

[AggiesAreWe]

Calling for 70% chance of rain starting Thursday night, 80% chance Friday, 80% chance Saturday. Calling for 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain.

Curious to see how the coaches and teams handle this situation.

Look for many series to be played as 1 gamers.

Is it true if the game cannot be played by Saturday night that they flip a coin to see who advances

Not really. UIL usually allows the teams to play Monday to determine who advances. Would just be 1 gamers though.

Thanks...that's better than a dern flip of a coin...but then if you don't have 50/50 shot at winning maybe not a big deal...could be plus. LOL!

From what I'm hearing coaches are trying to get fields all over Texas.

I figured that would be the case.

Too bad the Astros are at home this week. They could have rented out the Juice Box for games starting at 9am till midnight, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. ;D

I think I am going to pack a travel bag when i leave cause no telling where I may end up when all is done. I think west is the way to go rain chances are lower. I remember one year I did a series between Ozen and Montgomery and we played at Roundrock Westwood because of wet fields.

Well, I have hotel rooms booked in Humble, Huntsville, Katy and College Station.

I am ready!!!  ;D

[adminbaberuth]

That some good travel money right there Mr. Ump.

[MrUmp1]

Yeah but it sure is tiring doing all that driving then calling a game. Tough to keep the focus.

Always people on other side of fence to keep you focused if needed.  :)

Home sweet home!

Looks like we are fixing to get hammered again with rain. Going to be real hard to find a dry field unless you drive for 6 hours  :-\

Its pouring in Katy now.  Also hailing a little bit.  Its so dark the streetlights have come on!

[Peppermint Patty]

The Astrodome is available.

[snafu]

The Lastros should just forfeit their games for the weekend and let the High schools play.... its not like they are going to win... :-D

[AthleticSupporter - Jock]

Austin, Waco, DFW, Tyler and most areas in between those areas look pretty good.  But the greater houston area and all the way over to Louisiana is DONE.  If I were looking, I would be trying to get something in or around Tyler.

And it still is!  any coach who figured on any of the Katy ISD fields as an alternative might want to strike them from the list.

it has cleared out now and the sun is out.  More rain around 9, 30% chance. Don't know how bad the fields will be though.
