Do the right thing. The games in the Valley are going to be cancelled anyway. You don't wanna be sitting in traffic on the 405 with smoke everywhere just to get your kid to a game. Let the firefighters do their job. The leagues need to do the right thing this weekend.
Unless the league can re-schedule a game or put it at the end of season so everyone gets credit for an equal number of games, which as we know most leagues can't change venues or do re-schedules. Teams come from the Valley all the time to play where there's no fire danger. Why should they be penalized with a cancelled game and everyone else in their bracket plays?All games?

I remember, and not looking like that disaster today. Penalized means a team from the Valley is in a bracket and trying for a playoff spot and the game is cancelled, they won't have an equal number of games and may not quality. Means nothing in the grand scheme of things but parents lose it. Point is, there are evacuations going on and bad conditions, makes it worse for all involved. Why put kids at risk?We went through this on 2003 and 2007 i San Diego County, when a whole weekend of Presidio League games was just cancelled, but that was confined to SD County where the smoke and closed roads affected pretty much everyone.
I don't know what you mean by "penalized".

Currently 10 fires burning in Southern California. Good luck in the inferno.I am always amazed by the number of coward parents out there that always seem to want everyone else to bend to their beliefs. Look, if it's raining, snowing, too hot, too cold OR there happens to be a fire and you don't feel your kid should have to play, have the guts and the decency to just stay home and live our your beliefs.
Reality, is that you will cry that it is wrong, unfair or dangerous for the kids, but you will do it if everyone else is doing it. If you want to stay home, stay home!
Games aren't rescheduled. Leagues can't handle it. yes, fairness and safety, they're forgotten arts.So you want to cancel games in Orange County just to be fair?

Ha, funny. Not even close, don't care, doesn't apply. Got caught in the inferno by Getty Center a few years back from a game and can't believe it had come to that. Had games cancelled last minute over the years after driving forever due to hazardous conditions. Seen kids get sick and complain of headaches and sickness. If as above the league can make it fair and not have parents lose it and risk their kids safety to play a game, which parents do because they're told to, I'm good. All the signs of years past are happening right now with conditions getting worse and new fires starting. And your logic is dead wrong. A team is made worse when one kid doesn't show, especially when you need more players in poor conditions. Not showing up is not an option. We (as in all of us parents) don't teach our kids that.It sounds like you are more worried about your kids bracket and standings. If you are worried about your kid, stay home. Let the other games away from the fires continue on.

Justified just doesn't want it to effect his bracket and standings. Nothing about the health of the kid or else it wouldn't even be a question. Skip the game close to the fire. discussion over.Not showing up is always an option.
If you are going to skip a game, please inform the coach, team manager. If possible, inform the team.Justified just doesn't want it to effect his bracket and standings. Nothing about the health of the kid or else it wouldn't even be a question. Skip the game close to the fire. discussion over.
