Rain policy:
In the event of a rain-shortened weekend, first we will eliminate
pool games then if needed go to a single elimination tournament, if pool games have been played then those games will count
as tournament games if needed. If we are unable to finish all rounds, then win-loss records including pool
play, runs allowed, head to head, etc. will determine tournament champions. If all other means have been used a coin toss
will determine winners
