Rescheduling MYSA games All reschedules requested prior to May 1 must be granted and completed by May 1 at 6PM Completed = New date agreed upon by both teams Field and referee assignor provides you with new game time and field Home team enters and away team accepts within the MYSA system Act of God during the season: begin reschedule immediately

Home Game Rescheduling PROCESS Determine three (3) alternate dates with the away team. Field Coordinator, using the template that appears when you click the link on the manager webpage of MPB website. Field Coordinator will confirm back to you within 48 hours. (May be longer during preseason.) Reconfirm date with with the away coach/manager Once the away team accepts the new date and field, MPB Coach/Manager must go to MYSA’s website to complete the online reschedule form instructions Note: You will need your MYSA username and password Away games are rescheduled by away team MYSA rule: All games must be rescheduled by May 1. Only other reschedules allowed will be acts of God.

Home Game Rescheduling Why 3 alternate dates? The Field Coordinator needs to fit your reschedule between games that are already scheduled, and with consideration to referee availability. Providing more options ensures your reschedule can be completed as efficiently as possible. Can I request a specific time for my reschedule? You can request it, but it is not likely the request can be honored. There are over 250 games scheduled on MPB fields. Reschedules need to be scheduled with consideration to both field & referee availability. How do I reschedule an AWAY game? MPB Field Coordinator only reschedules MPB HOME games. Please contact the coach/manager of the away team and they will facilitate the reschedule with their club contacts.
