Hi folks - the weather next week is looking nasty, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday, which may result in game cancellations! Here is the heat policy straight off of the Barossa website for everybody. Full policy can be found here:

The Heat policy uses maximum temperatures forecast for Nuriootpa on the 6pm Channel 9 News/ Dept of Meterology website (www.bom.gov,au) the preceeding evening. The drinks break policy will have flexibility depending on the actual ambient temperature at the time of the game. If, for example, a cool change has come through the ref in charge may decide not to implement the drinks break policy. If a day is particularly humid, the RIC may implement the drinks policy at a lower temperature.
PLEASE NOTE AUTOMATIC HEAT POLICY CANCELLATIONS WILL NOT BE ADVISED DIRECTLY TO THE TEAMS IN ADVANCE. IT IS EXPECTED THAT TEAMS WILL CHECK THE RELEVENT INFORMATION THEMSELVES.
The game policy is
- U10's- modification of the game drinks policy (uncharged 1 minute timeouts with clock running) applicable from 32 degrees (instead of 34 degrees). Automatic game cancellation when the forecast temperature is 36 degrees or more.
- U12-U17- drinks policy remains at 34 degrees, uncharged 1 minute timeouts with clock running. Automatic game cancellation when the forecast temperature is 38 degrees or more.
- Seniors - drinks policy remains at 34 degrees, uncharged 1 minute timeouts with clock running. Automatic game cancellation remains when the forecast temperature is 40 degrees or more.
Game cancellation occurs the preceding night at 6.30pm after the News, and subsequent unforecast weather changes do not affect the cancellation decision.
