Drizzle tips...
 
Did a game in a light rain last night.... any tips on how to keep the d@mn lineups from smearing, shredding and getting wet as heck?
NO!! I didn't bring any ziploc bags with me. :rolleyes:
But seriously, any tips would be appreciated.

Call the game. Softball is not meant to be played in the rain.

If you are keeping the line up, YOU are the boss.

Have the assistant coach told the umbrella over you so that you don't get wet. They do have a purpose.

just be glad no one was seriously hurt, that is when YOU would have found out that you were the boss. if the field is unplayable, get it in writing from whatever authority, that you are to continue the game. when they ask why, just tell them you don't want to be the only one talking to the lawyers, because they will be a calling.

Maybe, but you don't play with lightning present. :eek:

You or your partners DID see that lightning bolt, didn't you? ;)

If we didn't play in the rain, then we up here wouldn't ever have any games.

More of that PNW propaganda to keep everyone away.

use a pencil when you gotta play in the rain and shield it to keep it as dry as possible. I keep my "rain gear" .. ie a spatula, crappy brush, and pencil when I'm calling games with potential rain/rain.

I should clarify.... it drizzled on and off for all of the 7 innings. we only had one batter HBP the whole game. So, if i would have thought that things were getting out of hand i would have done something.
But after 50 minutes the lineups had seen better days.
Nothing in the CCA manual or associated rulebook that say games are only to be played in bone-dry conditions.

Does either say that umpires must keep their eyes open at all times? Yet, you do that, don't you? :D
