the deadline for bi-district playoffs is may 16 according to the UIL website. So if your team doesn't get the game in today what happens?

UIL Post Season manual says this:
Two-Out-Of-Three Playoff Series
If schools play a two-out-of-three elimination series, the first game may be played prior to Friday, provided there is no loss of school time traveling to or participating in the game. Only one game of a two-out-of-three series may be played prior to Friday.
A two-out-of-three series that does not get a complete game in by the end of the day Friday automatically reverts to a one game series. This means that if game one of a series has been suspended and cannot be completed by the end of the day Friday, that the winner of that completed game will advance.
If one game is played and a second game cannot be played because of weather, then the winner of the one game advances to the next round. If game two is started and cannot be completed because of weather, it may be completed (from point of suspension) on Monday of the next week. The third game, if necessary, should also be played Monday.
If two games are played (and split) and the third game cannot be played on Saturday because of weather conditions, then the third and deciding game should be played on Monday of the next week.
Schools playing a two-out-of-three series should set parameters for the series prior to the first game. The parameters should include how the schools will handle weather problems and delays. Things such as how far the schools will travel to find an available field, giving up home field advantage, etc. must be discussed before one team gains a position of advantage after the first game is completed and weather becomes a factor.

I don't find any alterations to these rules in place because of the compressed playoff schedule.

What if it's too wet on Monday?
Fly to Toronto?

I would like to congratulate UIL on a job well done in the prevention of the spread of swine flu.
