Under Dixie Softball rules, when a runner leaves a base early the base umpire is supposed to drop a flag to indicate the violation. Instead of a dead ball situation, it is treated as a delayed dead ball situation. One of the many quirky rules that exist in Dixie. I have never actually seen the flag in use anywhere, though.
