Hot Weather Guidelines
Adelaide has hot summers. We recognise the need to protect participants from the dangers that can be caused by participating in extreme weather conditions, but we are also aware that people like to play as many games as possible. We therefore have in place a hot weather policy to balance these requirements.
If the 5pm temperature at Adelaide (as given for Kent Town on the Bureau of Meteorology website) is:
· 34 or below, games will proceed as normal from 6:10 pm.
· above 34 but below 38, then games will take place at the normal time, but will be modified to the form of four quarters of ten minutes, with a 3-minute break between quarters one and two and three and four, and a 5-minute break at half time.
· 38 or above, then games will be delayed until 6:40 pm and will be modified to three periods of ten minutes each, with 3-minute breaks between each ten minute period.
In the event of extreme wet weather or storms games may also be called off. This decision will be made as soon as possible and be communicated on our website.
