The level of play and weather ARE considerations to use when declaring, or not declaring an IFF.
OBR 2.00 ORDINARY EFFORT is the effort that a fielder of average skill at a position in that league or classification of leagues should exhibit on a play, with due consideration given to the condition of the field and weather conditions.
So ordinary effort in LL and MLB are two different animals, with a sliding scale in between.
And if the wind is blowing the ball all over the place you may take that into consideration.
