Is it 30 min after every strike within a 10 mile radius? Not looking good. There's a storm about to cross the cemetery in Snook.

In Southeastern Conference (SEC) baseball, there are pretty clear guidelines for getting a weekend series completed when weather hitsespecially Sunday.
Here's how it typically works
SEC Weekend Series StructureGoal: complete all 3 games if at all possible
- Friday Game 1
- Saturday Game 2
- Sunday Game 3
If Sunday weather is bad
1. They'll try to WAIT IT OUT firstTV windows matter, but finishing the game matters more
- Delay the game (even several hours)
- They will push late into the day if needed
2. Move the game EARLIER (common)3. Doubleheader options
- If weather is expected later:
- Move Sunday game to morning / early afternoon
- This is VERY common in SEC play
Saturday doubleheaderSunday doubleheader
- If Sunday looks bad in advance:
- Teams may play 2 on Saturday
4. If Sunday game cannot be played at all
- If Saturday gets washed out:
- Play 2 on Sunday
Here's the key rule:
The game is often just canceled and NOT made up
Why?So:
- SEC teams:
- Don't have many open midweeks
- Travel logistics are tight
- Conference standings use winning percentage
Exception (rare)
- 2-game series becomes official
- Example:
- Team wins Fri/Sat wins series 20
- Sunday canceled no makeup
They might reschedule if:But this is uncommon
- It significantly affects standings
- There's a mutual off date
- It's late in the season with postseason implications
Real-world SEC approach (what usually happens)
Priority order:
[ol]Play it Sunday (delay if needed) Move earlier Sunday Play doubleheader Saturday Cancel if unavoidable [/ol]
Key takeaway (for your situation)
If weather is coming Sunday:
Most likely outcomes:
- Game gets moved earlier
- OR delayed and played late
- Worst case canceled and series stands at 2 games

I looked it up. With no scheduled departure time (like a commercial flight), no game can start after 10pm or resume after midnight.
