Base on Balls

In FED (and NAIA?), an IBB is a dead ball, so there's no "tag" to be made if a runner goes past the base.

In other codes, it's a live ball, so the same rules apply -- runners move past the bag at their own peril.

Bob -

In NAIA, I have no pitches required, ball stays live.

Probably right. I work only a couple of NAIA games a year, and pull out the rules just before those games.
