Field Conditions/Weather Information:

This page will be updated by 3pm on game days where the weather is questionable or the field conditions are questionable.  If there are no updates, assume that the field conditions are playable and plan to play your game.  In the event that field conditions change after 3pm, your division coordinator will send a message out to you via email to inform you if your game has been cancelled.

Baseball Saskatoon has a cold weather cancellation policy that states games will not be played if the temperature taking into account wind chill is below five degrees at the start of a game.  This decision is made three hours prior to the start of games by looking at The Weather Network website and determining forecast temperature  at game time.  This policy was developed to ensure the safety of players and reduce injuries related to cold muscles.

Baseball Saskatchewan has determined that any Air Quality of 10 or more will mean cancellation of games. Baseball Saskatoon will monitor the air quality and make a decision by 4:30pm on game days.

Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) Categories:

  1. Low Risk (1-3): Air quality is considered good, and outdoor activities can proceed as scheduled.
  2. Moderate Risk (4-6): Moderate air quality; activities can continue, but individuals with respiratory conditions should take precautions.
  3. High Risk (7-9): Play is permissible with caution and modified activities. Unhealthy for sensitive individuals and groups; consider rescheduling or modifying outdoor activities. Baseball activities should be carefully evaluated, and organizers should consider shortening warm-up and practice times, modifying activities, or moving indoors, especially for individuals with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions. At-risk individuals, including those with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, should not participate in outdoor baseball activities during High-Risk conditions.
  4. Very High Risk (10+): Play is not permissible for a Baseball Sask Event. Very unhealthy; outdoor activities are to be rescheduled if possible, and individuals with health concerns should avoid prolonged exertion.
