Can someone help me find the rules on rain games? Baseball.

What I mean is that back in the 90’s when I played ball, it could come a monsoon and as long as it didn’t lightening we played on. Looks like a lot of rain but not storms (lightening and thunder) this coming weekend in Columbia.

Lightening within so many miles is no go

Tornados are ok as long as you can still see the funnel cloud

Hurricanes are ok now that we have a pitch clock to speed up the game

Those are the ones I KNOW to be rules

Beyond that, I think it’s at the discretion of the umpires/league headquarters as far as play stoppage/play resumption but I’m not positive on that

School/Administration decides if field is okay to start. Once game starts, discretion is to umpires.

You play with a bunch of guys who threw 100 mph with a wet ball and monsoon rain making it even harder to see? Play with guys that will be millionaires in 2 months unless a freak injury from running around on a wet arse field and slick bases could possibly derail?
