It has always been (as it still states) a published guideline, available, and thus a potential liability; it is (and has been for several years) a link on the National ASA website. http://www.softball.org/about/lightning.asp Now it is incorporated into the safety manual.

And that language hasn't changed. Nor any requirement. Once you have seen and read the actual document, that would be a good time to state a conclusion, rather than jump to an unfounded assumption.
