Air Quality Policy
 
 
The Government of Canada, Calgary – Air Quality Health Index will be used as the guide for Calgary Minor Softball Association.
 (https://weather.gc.ca/airquality/pages/provincial_summary/ab_e.html)
 
Games should be delayed or rescheduled if the air quality health index is at a 7 or above.
If games are not cancelled by Calgary Minor Softball Association in advance, both teams and umpires (if one has been assigned) are expected to go to the diamond prepared to play. At this time Calgary Minor Softball Association umpires and parent umpires will have the authority to cancel games at any time if they feel that air quality has deteriorated to unsafe levels. 
 
Practices should be rescheduled if the air quality health index is at a 7 or above.
If the air quality health index exceeds a 4, practices should be modified – this can be done by reducing the intensity and duration, as well as allowing for rest periods.
 
Those with compromised respiratory systems can decide where their personal cut-off is.
