You are correct once the game STARTS. The game is NOW suspended and you have NO jurisdiction on what happens there-after. The umpires have to go to safety to and we as umpires might not even be near the field depending on the field demensions. When the game is in OUR control we do our job according to the 30-30 rule.

We are NOT babysitters. The poster said Legion baseball which means young adults at the age of 19 and under. Some are in college.

It's like this.

Assume we get to the game and it starts to rain. We stop the game. After the rain passes, the HT does their best to get the field ready for play but to no avail.

The HC comes to you as UIC and says "Blue the field is unplayable we are done for today"

According to you it is YOUR field so are you going to override the HC and say I do not care what you think IMO, the field is playable and we are going to finish.

Are you going to stand there and EJ every player and coach that goes onto the field in which you vacted?

How about you call the game and you are on your way to the car and the players have practice afterwards etc. Going to say something then as well.
