Prior to the Meet 

In the event of inclement weather prior to a meet, it is the responsibility of the Host Team to contact the Visiting Team to decide if the meet will be cancelled and rescheduled. The decision is to be made by the Host Team Pool Management, League Representative and Head Coach. The Host Team is responsible to contact the Head Coach and League Representative of the visiting team to reach the final decision and make arrangements for rescheduling. The decision of whether or not to cancel the meet should also be communicated to the Meet Referee by the Host Team in a timely fashion. 

During the Meet 

The North Star Swim League will follow the American Red Cross guidelines of clearing the pool for a minimum of 30 minutes in the event of thunder and/or lightning. The Host Team’s pool management regulations will be in effect. 

Cancelling/Rescheduling a Meet 

During a Meet in which inclement weather arises, the Meet Director, Meet Referee, Head Coaches (both teams) and League Representatives (from both teams) shall confer with pool management about continuing, cancelling or rescheduling a Meet. 

The League Representatives from each team will be the only officials who can make the final decision to cancel a meet. This is not a decision that Coaches make.
