Is a fake throw considered a play by the pitcher? What about the feet? Does she have to be on the rubber or just in the circle?
What sanctions have this rule?
I call a lot in our local youth fastpitch league (ASA rules). This is one of the most misunderstood rules and those younger runners love to dance off the base.

A)Yes on a dead ball for the LBR. Ball is dead
B)Yes the runner on 3rd must go back to 3rd or head home after the B/R gets to 1st base.
C)Yes when the pitcher raises her arm then she's making a play on the runner and a fake throw is making a play
