I called two games this morning, 8am start. It was lightly raining when I got to the field, and the field was wet. It was a 10U game, so I was by myself, but I did confer with the umpire on next field, my coaches, and his coaches. There was worry about girls getting hurt slipping on bases or on a wet outfield, or muddy slide home (always a hole in right batter box). The final consensus is that the coaches wanted to play, so we did, two games until the tournament was called when it starting raining more.
Thankfully, nobody was hurt, Now, if someone did get hurt, who would be responsible?...The Umpires, the coaches, or the tournament director for not canceling when the forecast was for rain the whole day?
Also, what would you do as a parent if your DD got hurt in a rain game like this?......Would you look to hold someone responsible, or would you say "dem da breaks" (pun intended)?
