Can managers or the league reschedule a game if one or more teams cannot field a team?
The rule is that scheduled games must be played at the time they were scheduled to be played, and make-up games must be played at the time they were RE-scheduled to be played. Each year we try to create a schedule that evades known conflicts for SLF players, avoiding days like the McCarthy and Parker 8th Grade Dances, Mothers Day, and other days when we KNOW that many kids will not be able to attend games. We do our best with limited field availability and a short New England baseball season. Past experience has taught the league that it’s not workable to let teams reschedule on their own, as doing so often causes new scheduling conflicts with regard to field availability and umpiring staff, and almost always has a domino effect (You moved THAT game, so now its only fair that you move THIS game, and THIS OTHER game). Sometimes make-up games result in some tough situations, such as teams having to play three or four days in a row, which is not only a busy schedule for the team but also
