Is there anything against having an Ump out there during D's warm-up?

This is adult rec league.
Good Point.

That is the prescribed procedure. Then if during the inning of play
the base becomes covered, call time, sweep it again. I always do the
pitcher's slab first, then any other base that requires it. By the
time you finish, teams should be ready to play; unless college, they
take longer.
