  1. I went to see this one last night. There was a ton of water on the field. Possibly two inches in places that were not beneath the tarp during the rains the night before. Who decides if a field is playable or not playable? Balls hit to the out field splashed. Balls that landed in the foul territory of the infield splashed. Balls to the backstop splashed. I would hope our coach would have thought that field to be unplayable and not put season on the line in a ballpark that is too wet to play a district game on. So who gets to decide if the field is playable and what if hamshire's coach would have diagreed as I hope ours would have.

    “ART. 1 . . . The home coach shall decide whether the grounds and other ­conditions are suitable for starting the game. After the game starts, the umpires are sole judges as to whether conditions are fit for play and as to whether or not conditions are suitable for starting the second game of a scheduled double-header (two games between the same teams during the same day).”
     

     

  2. I agree. It is against UIL policies.

    and it is against NCAA rules(tx high school rule)

    rule 9 section 2 b 5 

    public address announcer is a person subject to rule.

    5. Persons subject to the rules, including bands, shall not create any noise

    that prohibits a team from hearing its signals (Rule 1-1-6).

    PENALTY—Dead-ball foul. 15 yards from the succeeding spot [S7 and S27].

    Automatic first down for fouls by Team B if not in conflict with

    other rules. Flagrant offenders, if players or substitutes, shall

    be disqualified [S47].
