Weather this weekend Nov. 22-24

What are the odds that weather causes cancellations for this weekend's tournaments? Dallas Texans has a lot of out state & out town teams coming in on Thursday and Friday. It doesn't look good.

I believe Ross Stewart and Chin Chapel are already closed due to forecasted humidity.

Bahahaha... That is so true about Ross Stewart.. Why do they even schedule games there?

my kiddo is heading to a tournament in Tulsa this weekend.....

.... wait for it....

Saturday a high of 37 and low of 26....
Sunday a high of 38 and low of 29...

not good.

Now a winter Storm Watch for Sunday into Monday...ugh..

High of 36 in McKinney on Sunday with Sleet...

Score one for the weather. We just got notice from our team manager that the club director asked that teams not travel out of concern for safety. (West Texas team that was entered in the Texans tournament.)

There is freezing drizzle and ice on the ground here.

I'm guessing the Texans will do everything in their power to play at least tonight's games in order to keep their 50% of the entry fee. Just a guess.

Kudos to U90C who called the League Challenge Cup tourney last night. Looks like the rain might not be as bad now, but not a lot of fun for anyone when it's cold, cloudy and windy. They are refunding 50% and letting teams apply the other 50% toward the reschedule after the 1st of the year.

It's a no-win situation for TD's.

Play in miserable conditions, and many people will be hissed off about having to play in miserable weather.

Wait 'till last minute to cancel and teams that had to travel get hissed off for having to spend money on transportation and hotel without getting to play.

Cancel early based on predicted weather so that teams traveling via car may be able to cancel hotel rooms without penalty, but then have the weather end up being good enough to play... people who wanted to play will be hissed off, and teams travelling by plane that can't get refunds on their airfare will be hissed off.

No matter what call the TD makes, someone is going to be hissed off, and will likely take to a public forum like this to vent their venom at the "idiot that made the wrong call..."

Wrong, you always play if safe enough to do so. Thats what people pay for, no one controls the weather. People are tired of money grabs due to weather, oh it rained thursday,fields are too wet, thanks for the money...

Oh, I agree with you.  

However, I guarantee that no matter what decisions are made about the tournaments this weekend, somewhere out there, someone is going to be hacked off about a TD making what they believe was a poor decision to play a tournament that shouldn't have been played due to weather/field conditions, or waiting too long to cancel a tournament that should have obviously been cancelled early due to the weather forecast.

Oh... and while I can't guarantee it, I am pretty certain that you will vehemently disagree with that person, and won't be "silent" about it.

It's cold and wet outside. Cancel it now so we can get the full refund. I suspect that they might try to get in enough so they don't have to refund though.

Wow there it is…finally something I can agree with Go on

Sounds like perfect London weather. There was a Champions League game last year with Zenit St. Petersburg, ( that there is Russia) and the temp at game time was -10F. Our kids are catered too with pristine fields and warm weather.




No reason to cancel unless lightning and debris flying through the air.

Oh I agree with you there. Just hate to see them push thru enough games so they don't have to give the money back and then cancel

All I know is that I'm going to be cold and wet tonight no matter what happens with soccer, as I will be at the Cotton Bowl watching the Allen v Mesquite Horn playoff game.

Pretty sure that game isn't getting cancelled unless there is lightning and debris...

Yes. If they are going to play one in these conditions might as well play the whole weekend.

I would hate to see the TD's try to push any games through. Our fields are already suffering from all the games played on them. Go out and play on them in the rain and see what damage comes from it!

Im glad it is tonight and not tomorrow's third game. That field will be a mess by the time the Allen Band gets off the field.   I wish I was going but will have to listen to the radio broadcast. Out of town soccer tourney... A UP

Dallas Texans Fall Challenge tournament was just canceled. Email just received.

Federico should be a weather man...
Due to the anticipated rain and subsequent outdoor tournament cancellations, we are leaving the registration for tomorrows mini tournament open to give more teams a chance to register.

Well, that's one and it looks like the U90c League Challenge Cup has been "rescheduled for later date due to rain/sleet."

What's the word on the other tournaments?

Hurst Soccer Turkey Shoot
PrimeTime Thanksgiving Shootout

HUSA Turkey just sent an email out saying tonight's games have been cancelled, but they plan on playing tomorrow ( Saturday). They also shortened the halfs by another 5 minutes for all pool, quarters and semis
