The Batesville forecast calls for thunderstorms all night and tomorrow. The Pioneers play Nettleton in an important East matchup. I was wondering what would happen if hypothetically they were unable to play the game all weekend? There are no more bye weeks and the playoffs start right after the season ends. I remember one year a game against Searcy was moved to Saturday morning when the storm passed. What if we lost the whole weekend, what would the rules call for? A Sunday game? Monday? How would that affect the standings/Playoff seedings? Has anything like that ever happened during conference play?

Here's what the AAA handbook says about it ...
Page 66 - 2018-2019 AAA Handbook
Rule 7.  GAME-ENDING PROCEDURES FOR CONFERENCE & NON-CONFERENCE FOOTBALL GAMES.
B. Conference Games.
  The following are options for conference game-ending procedures:
1.  Games that are resumed shall be from the point of interruption.  (time, score, down, distance, etc.)
2.  Games may be terminated with the existing score upon agreement of both school's administrative authority.  Conference games may not end in a tie.
3.  All postponed or suspended games will be rescheduled for the immediately following Saturday between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM at a time agreed upon by both school's administration.  If the administration cannot agree on the game time, then the game must start at 7:00 PM on that Saturday. 
4.  If a postponed or suspended game cannot be rescheduled for the immediately following Saturday because of inclement weather, the game will be rescheduled for 7:00 PM on the following Monday.

P.A.'s Facebook says the game is still on tonight, but in the event it's not finished they will finish tomorrow at 1.
