Closure determinations at 61 community sportsgrounds, and the rain that arrives after them
A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities indexes rainfall to the moment each weekend ground-closure determination is lodged, across 61 community sportsgrounds in two council portfolios over 22 winter weekends. At the 15:00 Friday deadline 16.8 per cent of the weekend's ground-affecting rainfall has fallen, the remaining 83.2 per cent arriving across the days the determination governs. Agreement between the determination and a blind play-morning surface assessment is 58.4 per cent (kappa 0.19), with 214 of 402 closures assessed playable on the morning, while the timeliness indicator the sportsground management standard reports holds at 100 per cent throughout.
