Weather a Concern in Playoffs

The extremely cold weather expected through much of the nation this coming weekend could derail some Men's DII College play-ins.

Cold weather with rain and snow is expected through much of Upstate New York, where four teams will play off to see who gets into the Round of 16. Those teams and regions are relatively used to such hardship so that might not be a problem.

New England looks like it might escape the worst, but the Midwest will have snow and sub-freezing temperatures.

USA Rugby has developed a plan in case play-ins this weekend cannot be held. Teams have been told that if a postponement is required, they have until Tuesday to play the game in question. If the game cannot be played, then the high-seeded conference will advance. That could be an in-conference decision, if we're talking about conference playoffs.
