I represent a baseball/softball club – is any part of our diamond considered to be an exempt playing surface?
Yes. The following areas are considered exempt and can be watered in accordance with the rules for such surfaces: • The parts of the infield that are the batters’ base running areas (the running areas and the bases). • The pitching mound and immediate surrounds (but not the whole infield area between the mound and the lines between the bases). • This is regardless of whether these areas are en-tout-cas, turf / grass, or any other surface that requires water to maintain durability and safety. The rest of the infield (the area between the pitching mound and lines between bases, and the area immediately outside the lines between 2nd, 3rd and 4th) and the outfield are not considered an exempt playing surface.
