3. Their decision to cancel the remaining Sunday games, "in the interest of player safety," . It was quite apparent that the decision was made for field protection, which would have been minimal. Not sure why they could not have stated this rather than hiding behind "player safety"

St. Patrick's Day Cup Update
March 15, 2008, 11:30 pm
Due to severe weather events and damage to the playing fields, all tournament matches for the following venues have been cancelled in the interest of player safety: BB&T Complex, Ballentine Park and Irmo Practice fields. All matches Sunday originally scheduled for Polo Road will be played. Sunday’s Polo Road revised schedule for the U10 through U12 age groups will be posted no later than 6 am on Sunday, March 16th.
I maintain the fields and had nothing to do with the decision, but it looks like the Tournament Committee was not hiding playing field damage as a factor.
