Practical guidance for outdoor rink managers and operating teamsBuilt for field use
Resources should help the team make or prepare for a real operating decision.
ODR Logic resources are being developed around the questions rink teams actually face: whether conditions support opening, how to prepare for rain or warmth, when to deploy protection, how to assess damage, and what should change after an incident.
Designed for operating meetings, field checks, staff procedures, and event preparation.
Separates observed results, professional judgment, assumptions, and conditions that still require monitoring.

Use the guidance, then document what happened.
Educational material becomes more useful when the operating team can apply it to current conditions and record the result. ODR Logic connects reference material with assessments, weather, incidents, tasks, maintenance, and seasonal history.
- Prepare staff before a forecast event
- Use consistent assessment and response procedures
- Document the action and observed outcome
- Carry the lesson into future seasons

When a guide is not enough
Work directly with an outdoor-ice advisor.
Some operating decisions require direct review of the rink, current conditions, staff practices, weather, equipment, incident history, and organizational constraints.
