As the nationwide heat wave intensified, KBO announced measures to prepare for the heat wave to ensure the safety of audiences, players, and officials visiting KBO League and Futures League stadiums.

From the 8th, KBO has adjusted its operating policy to extend the cleaning time from the current four minutes to up to 10 minutes after consultation between the game management committee and the referees at each stadium depending on the degree of heat wave.

In addition, in an official letter to each club, they asked for sufficient air conditioners and drinks in the squad area in preparation for the occurrence of heat diseases. For the safety of the audience, the electronic board periodically guided how to cope with the heat wave, and requested an increase in medical support and guidance personnel and sufficient preparation of countermeasures in case of emergency.




In addition, in preparation for a sudden surge in power use, the government requested the inspection of power usage plans and temporary power management plans related to the operation of air conditioners and the establishment of a shelter for audiences inside and outside the stadium.

Meanwhile, the opening time of Sunday's game, scheduled from September 1st (Monday) to September 14th (Sunday), has been changed from 14:00 to 17:00, and doubleheaders (including suspended games) will not be held during this period.

In addition, the overtime match, which was unlimited, will be limited to a maximum of 11 times in Futures League games that will resume on July 18 (Friday) after the All-Star break.
