Match officials and coaches are to arrive ready to play and meet prior to kick off and review the most current AQHI rating. If the AQ remains at 8+ the match is delayed by 30min, after this if there is no change the match is to be rescheduled. If the air quality changes dramatically during the game and 65% or more of the match time has passed, the result at the time the match is called is deemed final. However, if less than 65% of game time has passed the match will be rescheduled.
- Training held indoors or cancelled
- Senior & Junior matches AQ to be reviewed at kick off and the status of the match will follow the above decision tree
9+ 🛑 All matches cancelled, training to be moved indoors where possible
