I work a couple of fields where they use turf not grass and signs around the field say seeds and gum are prohibited.
probably for the care reasons previously stated
So I personally follow the rules and expect field management/coach to enforce this requiement.
I am there for baseball rules (or football as the case may be)

If you have been in this situation, how did you handle it?
I cannot imagine ejecting someone for non compliance for such a trivial thing, but I have been told to do so if the situation arises.

As umpires, we are the only ones in the world expected to be perfect on our first day on the job, and improve from there!
