Weather
USQ Staff has been monitoring the weather for the past few weeks, looking primarily at the forecast from the National Weather Service. We will also be conducting an on-site inspection of the fields on Friday of the event.
Play will be stopped for 30 minutes when there is a lightning strike within 10 miles. Any additional lightning will reset the 30 minute clock. The Tournament Director will be the primary point of contact for all staff and officials in accordance with the suspended game procedure. After 30 minutes has passed with no additional lightning within a 10 mile radius, play may resume at the determination of the weather monitor and/or USQ staff. After the “all clear” and park readiness is determined, park occupants may return and resume park activities.
In the event of a stoppage of play due to weather, everyone will be given directions for proper evacuation and shelter by tournament staff. In the event of a stoppage of play due to high wind or a significant delay due to thunder or lightning, park occupants are not allowed on the fields and are recommended to shelter in their vehicles. Teams may also go back to their hotel.
USQ National Qualifier staff will be sending out message updates regarding the weather and any schedule changes through text message and announcements onsite.
