  3. Manager or coach are to report to the hosting park at game time to reschedule.
  4. NWAA Scheduler will confirm the game re-schedule via e-mail.

Here are the rules governing same with time limits on the process:

SECTION 6.28 THE HOME ASSOCIATION MAY POSTPONE A GAME DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER PRIOR TO THE GAME. IN THIS EVENT, THE HOME TEAM MANAGER SHALL NOTIFY THE VISITING MANAGER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. ALL OTHER GAME STOPPAGES DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS SHALL RESULT IN THE GAME BEING DELAYED BY THE UMPIRE-IN-CHIEF ON THE FIELD OF PLAY, AND ONLY THE HOME ASSOCIATION'S BOARD MEMBER ON DUTY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO OFFICIALLY POSTPONE THE GAME. PLAYERS, MANAGERS AND COACHES MUST REPORT TO THE FIELD OF PLAY TO RECEIVE OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION OF A GAME POSTPONED BY THE UMPIRE-IN-CHIEF. FAILURE TO SO REPORT WILL RESULT IN A FORFEIT BEING DECLARED. SECTION 6.29 THE HOME TEAM MUST CONTACT BY EMAIL THE VISITOR WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE RAINOUT AND OFFER TWO DATES. THE VISITING TEAM MUST RESPOND WITHIN NINE (9) DAYS OF THE RAINOUT TO THE TWO (2) DATES OFFERED. EVEN WITH CONFLICTS THE GAME MUST BE RESCHEDULED WITHIN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS OF THE RAINOUT. THAT DOES NOT MEAN PLAYED WITHIN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS JUST RESCHEDULED FOR A LATER DATE. IF NEITHER TEAM INITIATES A RESCHEDULE WITHIN THE FOURTEEN (14) DAY TIME FRAME, THE GAME WILL GO DOWN AS FORFEIT FOR BOTH TEAMS. A FORFEIT SHALL BE RECORDED WITH A SCORE OF 7-0. SECTION 6.30 IF ONE (1) TEAM IS AT FAULT FOR THE GAME NOT BEING RE-SCHEDULED IN THE TWO (2) WEEK PERIOD, THAT TEAM WILL RECEIVE THE FORFEIT. THIS WILL BE DETERMINED BY EMAIL DATES AND TIMES.
