ok....I need clarification on this one because we do it all the time. If I have a runner on third and 1 and 2 are unoccupied and my girl gets a walk, she KNOWS to automaticlly take off headed for 2nd. But I was under the impression that if the pitcher has the ball in the circle by the time she reaches first that the play is now dead and she can't advance to 2nd.

When you use this play, and the pitcher is not making a play on either runner, the runner on third must commit one way or the other once the batter runner reaches first.
I had a team trying to use this play last weekend, but the runner on third started juking back and forth after the BR had reached first and the pitcher was not making any play.
DEAD BALL....RUNNERS OUT!

Only time my 3rd base runner will proceed to home is if they make a play on my walked batter that's going to 2nd....if they make the throw to get her out then we score.... You'd be amazed at how many times this play works in league ball....they still haven't caught on and only two more games to go.
