So I assume there is no rule on how long you wait?

Read OBR 4.10 and 4.12 here, http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/downloads/y20...nding_game.pdf.
If wet field conditions become hazardous, then call the game during the rain delay and go home. Now if wet field conditions are not hazardous, usually a coach who is least likely to want to be there in those conditions would request that you call the game. Call it using league ground rules {curfew, time limits, darkness, weather} because the league will likely reschedule the game.

If that isn't a choice and you're in for a long night, consult with local law enforcement personnel w/access to local weather forecast/live radar. Of course most people I know would call the game, themselves, asap and then say that "they were told by the powers that be" that conditions for resuming the game were not favorable {No lie, }.

This is one of many radar loops. Click on your state for close-up of local weather radar conditions.

Same info is available for local forecast conditions, if needed.
