Moving forward for the 2025-2026 season, game reschedules must follow these steps, no exceptions: 

Game rescheduling fee:  $30 per game request

Payment must be received prior to the game being played. E-transfer available; please use:  treasurer@liwsa.com.

Liaisons have been directed to enforce the use of the following form (fillable pdf) and its instructions, to facilitate and clarify the expectations of the league on game reschedules/postponements, that include submitting rescheduling details in a timely manner and minimizing any confusion due to the high volume and long emails received. 

LIWSA GAME RESCHEDULE FORM (2025) - Fillable PDF 

STEP 1
Requesting team complete the BLUE SECTION of the form. Submit to Liaison.  

STEP 2
Liaison will review form, confirm that meets eligibility; will complete the GREEN SECTION that indicates when rescheduled gamed must be completed by. Return to both teams via email. 

In the case that a rescheduled date is included (YELLOW SECTION) when form is received by Liaison, it will then be forwarded by Liaison to League Scheduler.

STEP 3
Teams must agree upon a rescheduled date;  requesting team must complete the YELLOW SECTION with the details, and return to Liaison.  If the reschedule details meet the requirements, the Liaison will pass along the completed form to League Scheduler so that information may be updated online.   

**It is important that teams do not include the League scheduler (Casey) in ongoing email discussions on the topic of game reschedules – Casey must only be included once the YELLOW SECTION has been completed.
