Advice for indoor league programme in event of adverse weather

The 2012-2013 National and Regional Indoor League programme is scheduled to be played at various venues across Scotland between Saturday 8th December 2012 and Sunday 10th February 2013.
As a result of the adverse weather during recent seasons, Scottish Hockey will be monitoring the weather and road conditions.  Obviously, safety and common sense is paramount.  In the event of severe weather affecting travel across the whole of Scotland, Scottish Hockey will make a decision as to whether the programme will be cancelled.   It should be stressed that this decision will only be taken if the adverse weather and road conditions affect the whole country, not merely isolated pockets of the country.
If you have any concerns about weather or travel conditions during the indoor programme, teams should contact the Technical Official in the first instance, or the venue Management (after 9am) if you cannot contact the appointed Technical Official, in accordance with Byelaw 10.4.3 (below).

If any National or Regional Indoor League session is cancelled or curtailed in any way due to adverse weather or road conditions, every effort will be made to reschedule all unplayed matches.  However, it must be stressed that the available times at the venues is limited, so teams must be aware that if an indoor session is not played or is curtailed due to a team (or teams) failing to appear, the games may not be able to be rescheduled and will not be played.   In the event of a curtailed session taking place due to one or more teams failing to appear, the remaining teams and TD should arrange to play matches which are currently scheduled to be played later in the season if possible, as this will ensure matches are played when there is an opportunity to do so, and this would release time later in the season which would help in the rearrangement of matches.
Thank you.
