Fields have base anchors as follows:
Braemar, Trafalgar 1, Trafalgar 2 - 45', 55', 60'
Balaclava, Carnarvon - 55' and 60' only
McBride, Douglas - none
Field set up should include raking the field (or dragging the field where equipment is available, at Balaclava, Carnarvon and Trafalgar) to ensure a flat and safe surface on the infield at least after game is over.
Extra care should be taken to ensure that pitching rubber nails are removed after the games . Hammers with claws for nail removal are available in all equipment boxes.
