Game Rescheduling Process

 

SNBMHL Game rescheduling process

 

Email snbmhlgamereschedule@gmail.com 

 

Subject line must contain the Game # 

 

A separate email must be sent for each game requesting to be rescheduled.

 

Include the following in the email request:

 

  • Date and time of Game

  • Reason for reschedule request

  • Include contact person (manager/coach) from the other team in the email chain 

  • The requestor must Identify the team they are associated with.

  • Home team is responsible for notifying their officials/referee scheduler of the change of schedule.

 

Emails without the proper information will be returned to the sender and the request will not be processed until all information is provided.

 

Games that are approved for rescheduling must be played within the proper half of the season but there is no time frame (1 week, 3 weeks etc). The ice schedulers will provide an alternative date and time for the rescheduled game, this may take some time as there are many factors they must work around including the number of ice times available and the number of games they must reschedule. If there are no league games scheduled or tournament games scheduled on the proposed new date, there will not be an option to refuse.

 

All requests for games to be rescheduled are to be approved by the SNBMHL VP prior to alternate arrangementS being made by either team. 

 

Games will not be rescheduled for:

 

A shortage of team volunteers. (Cases of shortage of players will reviewed on a case by case basis by League President)

A conflicting practice has previously been arranged.

A team function has been planned.

A conflicting exhibition game has previously been arranged.

"That will give us too many games within a close period."

"The game means nothing to us."

"It's an exhibition game and does not count."

 

 

PROCEDURE FOR INCLIMATE WEATHER

 

Only the visiting team can request reschedule, Please allow approximately 4 hours notice. 

 

1. Visiting team coach requesting rescheduling due to weather notifies home team Coach/Manager (can be by phone call but must be followed up by email) and the VP of SNBMHL (via email address above) with the team names, game number, location and time. The game number must be in the subject line of the email.

 

2. Home team notifies the ice scheduler/ Referee scheduler of cancellation. This process is individual Association dependent.

 

3. Once the league has approved the reschedule request the home team's ice scheduler will provide an optional date and time for the game to be played. ( See above for notes) and the website will be updated with agreed upon date.

 

 

 Please review Bylaw 3.17 in the SNBMHL Constitution for consequences of not following the league practice for rescheduling/ canceling games.
