Well, the metal anchor is supposed to be buried below the level of the field. It shouldn't be sticking up out of the ground. I've seen those pegged base systems all over the place before leagues started using the ones with the rubber nipples, and I never saw the square shaft that the peg fits into protruding from the ground.
