Games can also be cancelled after they start, if conditions get worse. > Ifthe rain-out hotline is updated, the sports staff will inform the Legacy Center front desk of the change. > If games are cancelled at the fields, and the rain-out hotline is not updated because it is after the cut-off time, the sports staff will contact the Legacy Center front desk about the cancellation.
