UPDATE 1/9/2020 5:45pm. RainiedOut has fixed some of the bugs I've reported. Good news is they have code in place to prevent double payments from the same phone number.
If you are having issues or have concerns we recommend waiting to sign up until all the bugs are worked out. We will post closer to the "Season Kickoff at Selinsgrove Ford to remind fans to sign up.
I signed up immediately so I could see what you the fans would see in case there were questions and did find some bugs which have been reported and are being resolved.
It is your option whether to sign up or not. This is just one of the tools, and probably the quickest way, to keep people up to date on cancellations.
UPDATE 1/8/2020 @ 6:00pm - Rained out says they have a code built in to prevent someone paying twice. That being said if you already have paid Rained Out and get a request to pay again just ignore it. You can also text the keyword for the account the message is from to make sure you are actually subsribed. If you receive a text confirmation that mentions 4 messages per month it can be ignored. They "have to say that legally" as it harkens back to the days when mobile data plans charged for all data as opposed to unlimited as most have now. They are working diligintly on the reported bugs. MOST IMPORTANTLY DO NOT PAY RAINED OUT A SECOND TIME DURING THE YEAR. And you can always check to see if you are subscribed by sending the keyword to them or by clicking the links on our rained out page and doing it online.
