Smoke and Softball

I'm not sure there is any good advice for this, but just in case, I'm asking for help.

We have a tournament Sunday - I'll be working 9 hours (6 games) with 5 15 minute breaks. Most of the teams will be playing at least 3 games. Trouble is -- we are an hour south of the fires in Magnolia Texas, and 2 hours east of the Bastrop fires. The smoke in our area has been pervasive. Not to the point that you visibly see it all the time... but to the point that you smell it often and after being outside for about a half hour yesterday I was coughing.

So ... any advice for A) the umpires that will be out in this for 9 hours ... not really sprinting, but active. Or B) the girls that will be active and running hard for about half that. Willing to consider anything other than simply not working (and the decision about whether to cancel is not in my hands - I would not be surprised if they were thinking about it ... looking for advise assuming the tourney goes on.)
