OB is listed on the notes PDGA live scoring, and Tee Signs. If we do get rain like the forecast says we might, we will play casual OB for standing water:

Casual water relief is available to players rule 806.03.
A. Casual area or casual water, or any area specifically designated as a casual area by the Director before the round. Casual water is any body of water that is in-bounds and has not been explicitly declared by the Director to be in play.

B. To obtain relief from a casual area, the player's lie may be relocated without penalty to the nearest lie which is farther from the target and is on the line of play, at the nearest point that provides relief.
