The runner (R1) is out and if the umpire feels that R1 intentionally interfered in order to prevent a double play, then the batter-runner is also out. If the umpire does not judge the act to be a willful and deliberate act to prevent a double play, then R1 is out and the BR is awarded 1st base. The ball is dead immediately upon the call of "Interference," and no runners can advance nor any runs score on the play. Rule 7.09(f)[formerly g].

It probably depends on the age group, but the umpire simply has to use his judgement. If you think there is or was interference call it. DEAD BALL!

Since its a fair ball runner is out that interfered. If you think it might have prevented a double play, then call two outs.

With older kids I would probably require contact; however, it all comes down to what the umpire thinks.

Hope that helps
Thanks
David

If R1 was off the base, then it's likely interferecne (as described) and R1 is out. If you think it was intentionally done to avoid a double play, then BR is also out.

If R1 was in contact with the base, then he is protected from interference, unless it's intentional.

If you are going to call it - Say "That's Interference, TIME" Do not say "Dead Ball" What the H E double hockey sticks does "Dead Ball" Mean. Do we need a funeral, will there be Paul Bearers, a eulogy. "I remeber when this ball was hit of the left field wall for a double, and the home team scored three runs taking the lead into the final inning, We will all miss this ball, it was a wonderful ball, It touched all of our lives and we will miss it greatly."

What does "Dead ball" mean? Check the rule book, it has a definition.

Time is a rather ambiguous term, undefined in the book, which philosophers have been debating the meaning of for centuries. All I know about Time is that it keeps flowing, like a river (on and on). To the sea. Til it's gone forever.

That would be "pall bearers" BTW. Paul didn't die, he formed a group called "Wings."

Yes he did. You're fooling yourself.

Yeah, I got caught up in that when I was a kid too. Then reality set in.

If it is judged to be interference...
It depends on how many outs as to who you call out. Less two men out, you bang R1. With two outs you call the batter out.

Gee, that is just so not correct. The other posters have the right answers, including the one I gave citing the rule. How many outs is irrelevant.
