MP was able to watch the weather forecast just like the rest of us. They chose to play saturday mornings games but cut them to 20 minute halves. The only reason they did this was so they could say that they don't have to issue refunds because all of the teams had played atleast one game. We played of field 7 at 12:30 and there were no issues with the field conditions. Yet, they cancelled the afternoon games as soon as our game was over, even though the rain had stopped! One Tournament organizer said it was so the fields would be in good shape for the tournament next week. MP knew the weather forecast and didn't want to give up the money. They only held out the "hope" of playing sunday to keep everyone in town. If you keep the Chamber of Commerce happy then you keep getting your sponsorships.
These are same people that lobbied SCYSA to cancel all of their home and away games because a CAT 1 Hurricane made it rain in Charleston. They could have traveled and played their away games.If rain closes the fields in Charleston, like they all ways do, then they should have to travel to their opponnets site to play the games.
