Weather Policy

Weather Alert

We hope that we wake up on competition day and the weather is perfect for travel, but with our competition being in winter we want to have a weather plan in place. We will make every attempt to keep the Ivy Tech Bloomington Regional Competition open despite the weather. However, we also want to keep everyone safe. The following is our weather policy:

Ivy Tech Bloomington Campus Closes

If the administration of Ivy Tech Bloomington closes campus, we have no choice but to cancel our event as we can't be on campus.

Ivy Tech Bloomington Campus has a delayed start

In the event of a delayed start, we will start the day one hour after campus opens, and run later into the day. For example, if campus opens at 10, registration will start at 10, impounds and practices will start at 11 and so on.

The weather is bad but campus is open as usual

In this case, we will assess the weather and make a call based on our desire to hold the competition balanced with our need/ desire to keep everyone safe. The decision will be made no later than 5 AM on the day of competition.

How to find out if the competition is cancelled

There are two things you can do:

- Sign up for Ivy Tech Bloomington weather alert text messages. You would then receive a text if the campus is closed or delayed. You can sign up for this at http://www.ivytech.edu/alert/.

- As soon as the decision to cancel is made, an e-mail will be sent to all the e-mails supplied when the coach registered for the regional. If the coach would prefer we use a different e-mail, they should contact Sarah or Steve to let them know of the best e-mail.
