Lightning policy

Summer 2024 - I reached out to Shawnee County Parks and Rec. for snco policy regarding lightning and suspending games. The smart phone Application they use is "weather bug" which has Spark Lightning feature.  When lightning reaches (eight miles) games are to be suspended for 30min.  and each strike within that range the 30min. starts over.  Fri. 28th June TBSA board members and UIC were monitoring Mother Nature.  When lightning was recorded eight miles: TBSA notified teams playing and league games were ended because of TBSA time limit under rainout policy and the next games were pending 30min. delay to see what Mother Nature was going to do... TBSA board made the decision to rain out the second set of games on Fri. and nearly everyone had left the ball park before the storm hit!
