If it's league play at a complex owned and/or operated by a local association, they set the ground rules.
If it's league play on public property, the umpire sets the ground rules.
If it is a tournament, the UIC should set the ground rules.
The most important thing is that when one crew/umpire turns over a field to a relief, they should make sure they pass along the ground rules used so they at least remain as consistant as possible.
