If the heat index is forecast or registers between 100-104 on the day of SCORES Cup: Staff and referees will modify play either by decreasing halves by 2-5 minutes, and/or increasing halftime by 5 minutes. Our staff will implement additional shade measures and ensure teams are ready with adequate substitutes.

If the heat index is forecast or registers above 109 on the day of SCORES Cup: SCORES Cup will be cancelled. Heat indexes in this range substantially increase the risk of heat-related illness and death, and are classified as an excessive heat emergency by the D.C. government.
