Lady Knights:
I understand your concern, however we are a large school district and are blessed with additional fields that we can draw upon if needed. I am certainly not suggesting that rain wouldn't ever cause disruption and/or a format change but the field we added is new to our community (a new middle school) and didn't take away from the pool of reserve fields that we have.
The short answer is we were going to expand the 12U division this season from 12 to 18 teams but because of the NSA conflict, we didn't see the need to do that. Instead we were able to adjust fields to add additional 16U teams which has always been and continues to be the age group where we get the most interest.
