This was and Adult Baseball Game played strictly under OBR. According to rule 3.10 (a): the manager of the home team shall be the sole judge in deciding to start the game due to unfit playing decisions.

Not sure that this rule has any merit in court. Hopefully we will get this resolved. Thanks again for the repsonses.
I would say this isn't the strongest leg to stand on. As soon as the lineup cards are exchanged, the umpires have the duty to determine if the field is *still* fit for play.
