Mel Ott needs you to check the login Parent Page for any General League messages. For example: Rain Out information.
Rain out information will be posted no later than 1 hour before game time, which it states in the Mel Ott Supplemental Rule Book (sometimes sooner) but with Buffalo Spring weather it may be harder to predict sooner.
You can also get the rain out information texted to you on your cell phone by updating your Personal Information from the Parent Page. Just enter your cell provider and cell number in the requested area ( phone 3) and if there is a rain out you will be contacted as soon as the decision is made. No need to check the website.
