Lightning protocol
Protocol for lightning as a reminder - is to wait in cars for 30 mins if no other lightning flashes occur during that time , the match may resume. If a match earlier in the day is abandoned due to lightening, do not assume all remaining games will be canceled.
If your coaches are calling you , they should be playing their matches. If the referee is not there, they play each other with either the coaches acting as referee or they will choose an agreed upon third party as referee.
The game is official , if they opt not to play both teams will receive a forfeit loss
