Frequently Asked Friday
I have a couple of questions about the WBGT
1. Can we set it up in the shade to determine whether or not we can practice?
2. Do the WBGT requirements apply to the benefit games?
Answers
1. No, the WBGT needs to be in the same location and surface as the practice.
2. No, benefit games are considered contests, not practices. Administrators should consider starting time, extra breaks, etc. when planning for benefit games.
