The following information is regarding the possible effect of Tropical Storm Danny on Saturday's match against the San Jose Earthquakes.
We've been monitoring Tropical Storm Danny's status and its current projected paths, and we have confirmed the protocol with Major League Soccer:
Should it be necessary, before the game a group of officials from both teams, the league, referees and law enforcement will be in communication to assess the state of affairs. If a delay is deemed at all necessary, every available avenue (web, social networking, in-stadium, radio, TV) will be used to alert fans. If a postponement is deemed necessary, that too will be communicated.
Once the game gets going, the referee has the authority to suspend the game if he feels conditions have deteriorated to the point that they are dangerous or unplayable.
One other important note is that once the first half is completed, the game is considered official and can be called. Although, in that case, every effort will be made to restart and complete the game.
