They Promised Us Three Games. We Got Rained Out With Nothing

It happened again. Two years ago, a tournament got rained out halfway through. No third game. No refund. No champion. Just a bunch of disappointed kids standing on a wet field.This time I decided to get answers. I sat down with Dutch Schotemeyer, a coach and tournament director who's run over 300 events in Southern California, and I asked him straight up: what's supposed to happen when the rain stops play? Is there a backup plan? Should there be one?What he told me is going to change how I pick every tournament from now on — the fine print in registration nobody reads, why the field matters more than you think, and how directors actually decide who "wins" when a tournament never finishes.If you've ever paid good money and walked away with a soaked, disappointed kid and zero answers — this one's for you.Check out Dutch's tournaments:🔗 alisocup.com🔗 sanclementecup.com🔗 modernsoccerparent.com
