The umpire can't start the game if the field is not in good order, but the home team (or the host-organisation) has to draw the lines. If that's what the ump meant, I'm OK with that. If not... well.......
You probably dont work many tournies then, because I can start a game and certainly do and will today again. Maybe outside of CA its very different. Because in the vast majority of tournies I work they draw lines in the mornings and they draw lines for the championship game.. thats it. By the 3rd or 4th game, the lines dont exist.

Personally I could care less and I'm not going to sit and insist on lines being drawn before games when thats not what happens as the norm.
