Field Set‐up Responsibilities and Timing

 The home team is responsible for setting up the field and if it is the first or second game of the day, the visitor team must help with set‐up. If it is the last game of the day, the visitor team is responsible for cleaning up the field and ensuring everything is locked up. This includes:

• Putting away any field set‐up equipment left out
• Putting away all the bases
• Plugging the base posts
• Putting away the dugout screens (minors field only)
• Locking up the scorer’s booth
• Locking up all of the equipment sheds

Both Teams are responsible after the game for making sure the field, dugout areas, and stands are clean and all garbage is picked up. The field preparation and set‐up should be completed whenever possible:

• 20 minutes before the start of the game when the teams will be conducting an infield/outfield warm up
• 10 minutes before the start of the game when the teams will not be conducting an infield/outfield warm up (i.e. T‐Ball, Farm)
