7. Is work duty the same thing as concession stand duty? What is concession stand duty?

• No, you can buy out of the work duty assignment, however you cannot buy out of the concession stand assignment. To ensure the smooth operation of the concession stand, each family MUST take their turn operating the concession stand.
  
  The concession stand will be open during regularly scheduled games during each season. Each team must assign one or two parents to operate the concessions during all home games. Every family is expected to man the stands for one of their child's games - there is no buyout provision. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled game time to take over from the previous game's parents. Instructions will be posted in the concession stand. Be sure to sign off on the schedule posted in the concession stand after our shift is over.

8. It looks like rain -- is the game still on? Who should I call?

• If it's raining or threatening to, it would be nice to know as soon as possible if a game has been cancelled or not. However, early cancellations are not always possible. The weather may be bad where you are, but dry at the playing field. The rule of thumb to follow is "Assume the game will be played until you hear otherwise from the coach."
