New Rule Regarding Ties
Rule 6.66 - In the event of a tie at any base and during any play, the UIC shall immediately overule his/her partner and direct both teams to have a "do over", just as if no action had occurred prior to the apparent tie. If any runners have advanced to any base, they shall all be returned to the base acquired at the time of the pitch.
Personally . . . I'd go with the advice to umpires . . .repeat after me . . . "There's no such thing as a tie; there's no such thing as a tie; there's no such thing as a tie."
