Authority to Rule on Game Stoppage The umpire-in-chief has sole authority to suspend, postpone, or cancel the game if conditions become unfit for play. 8. Lightning Strikes A. Each member institution shall be responsible for having the capability to determine when lightning strikes are within specified distances from the competition site. When lightning is detected within 10 miles of the competition site, home team game management shall utilize the public address system to inform those in attendance that inclement weather including lightning is within 10 miles and that should patrons vacate the facility for safe shelter, they will be allowed to re-enter with a ticket stub.

SEC LICENSING PROGRAM The Southeastern Conference markets its registered marks (Southeastern Conference, SEC, SEC Seal and SEC logos) through a licensing program with the Collegiate Licensing Company. The SEC began its licensing program in 1988 to protect the use of its name and insignias and to ensure that its member institutions benefit from the use and sale of items bearing its name and/or logos. The program also ensures that manufacturers and retailers market only the highest-quality mer- chandise using the conference name and logos. The SEC has joined a significant number of colleges and universities throughout the country to bring about consistency in the marketplace for officially- licensed collegiate products.
