Here is the list of confirmed games that have made that switch:

There is potential more games will join this list, and it will be updated as that information is confirmed on www.timesrecordnews.com.
There is more pressure and urgency to have these games played since each one is a district matchup and will decide playoff seeding. The forecast for Oct. 23 does present its own challenges, however, with chances of thunderstorms listed at 61 percent, according to weather.com.
