1. We use the five mile rule. Lightening seen within five miles results in calling everyone off the field. We then wait until 15 minutes has passed after the last sign of lightening. Each new event causes the clock to start over.

2. We issue the initial order to take cover, but it then becomes the coach's responsibility to keep his kids under cover. That said, if we see some idiot coach letting his kids warm-up outide during the time they should be undercover, we'll remind him of the status of the game.

3. The usual time delay is 15 to 20 minutes. We'll give the pitcher 5-8 warmups, as he feels the need, and then go.
