The Pif Classic disrupted by rain
Saturday night, all Pif Classic activities were canceled due to rain. The precipitation received Sunday morning also forced teams to evacuate water from the ball field.
We had a big vacuum truck. We vacuumed the fields, we managed to start the games at 8:15 with 15 minutes delay, but unfortunately at 9:30, we had another big downpour.
says the general director of the Classique Pif, Jean-Charles Doyon.
The whole team had to dry the pitches again before relaunching the games which were able to resume with a delay.
