NCAA rules from an article about a lightning delay at this years regional baseball tournament.
Chad Tolliver, the NCAA's assistant director of championships and alliances, issued a four-page memo dated May 26 advising Division I tournament directors of lightning detection procedures and protocols.
It instructs event staff to monitor MxVision WeatherSentry online and observe a 30-mile "alert ring" and an eight-mile "warning ring" for lightning.
Once lightning enters the warning ring, competition must be stopped and athletes and spectators moved to safe areas. No further activity is permitted until 30 minutes have passed since the last lightning strike inside the warning ring.

Yeah, you can be reasonably far and still get struck
On a pipeline job I was on, a guy got struck by a stray bolt out of one lone cloud on an otherwise bright sunny day. We were about 50 yards from him stringing pipe off a rolligon trailer while he was spotting for a dozer. It was weird the way it went down, kinda like the Twilight Zone. You could feel the crrent in the air and hair on your arms stand up. The sound was deafening and it killed the guy. It was ugly what it did to his body. One of the worst things I have ever seen.
