My DD played yesterday at a field with a lot of soft dirt in a couple of places, and about half the pitcher's plate was covered wtih dirt (making it look like it was 12" instead of 24").
Blue said if it looks like she is not on the plate he will call an IP so we kept it clean enough for him to see.
Funny field, 2B was the same way and would get completely covered with dirt. It became completely obscured several times and had to be cleaned off. One time a runner slid into 2B on a steal before she got up she called, "Blue, time please--I can't see the base!"
