NFHS - Appeal Play
 

What are your thoughts on this one?

Jones, advancing from first to third, fails to touch second base and is standing on third when the throw from the outfield
goes into the dugout.

A. The umpire is to immediately declare Jones out for missing second base.

B. Because Jones missed second base, he cannot be awarded home from the errant throw to the dugout.

C. If Jones attempts to return to second base, the defense cannot appeal his missing second until Jones has completed his
opportunity to correct the mistake.

D. Jones cannot legally return to his missed base and is subject to being declared out upon proper and successful appeal.

D

In NFHS you cannot return once you are on or past the next base WHEN the ball goes dead..

In OBR you cannot return once you touch the next base AFTER the ball goes dead.

Thanks Rich for pointing out the difference. Well done.

Is there a difference?

So in OBR, if you are between bases and the ball becomes dead and then you touch the next base, you are screwed?

In NFHS, if you are between bases and the ball becomes dead and then you touch the next base, you can retouch?

Yes I'm bored!

Yes

Yes

No. You are still "screwed" under FEd rules in this situation.

The difference is that if you are on the next base WHEN the ball becomes dead -- you can retouch in OBR, but not in FED.
