JUNIOR & SENIOR WET WEATHER PROCEDURES

MID - WEEK & FRIDAY NIGHT CANCELLATIONS

When closing fields, clubs must contact Football Brisbane (FB) no later than 2:00pm on the afternoon of the match. The HOME club is responsible for deciding if matches are to proceed.

If any matches are called off, the HOME club is required to EMAIL Football Brisbane (competitions@footballbrisbane.com.au) with this advice (NOT telephone messages).

If the situation arises where conditions deteriorate after 2:00pm, clubs are to call the Wet Weather number (0421 271 735) to discuss the options – do NOT send an email.

If matches have not been postponed by 5:00pm, it is then the Referee’s decision, on arrival, as to whether matches are to go ahead.
