NCAA Rules Questions

[justanotherblue]

Once the defence leaves the field all appeals are null and void. A team can't appeal at that point. In the first question, B is the proper answer. B-1 directly follows B9 in the batting order.

In the second question, I have to go with D. All members of the defense left the playing field. They forfieted their right to appeal at that moment.

Those NCAA references make no sense.

7-11-a(2) does say "...an appeal is made ... before a pitch to the next batter of either team or a play or attempted play..."

(emphasis added).

It doesn't say anything about "Once the defence leaves the field all appeals are null and void" and the part of the rule I highlighted pretty clearly indicates that an appeal can be made after the half-inning has otherwise ended.

I do enjoy talking rules. You learn something new every day. I have a question I'll start in a little bit.

MLBUM 5.2 is about "normal" 7.10 appeal plays. This isn't one. BOO is covered in MLBUM 3.2.

6.07(b) says hen an improper batter becomes a runner or is put out, and the defensive team appeals to the umpire before the first pitch to the next batter of either team, or before any play or attempted play,

6.07(c) says When an improper batter becomes a runner or is put out, and a pitch is made to the next batter of either team before an appeal is made, the improper batter thereby becomes the proper batter, and the results of his time at bat become legal.

Nowhere is there mention of the defenders leaving the field.

For the BOO appeal only, I've read and re-read, and I'll have to agree that leaving the field doesn't remove the potiential for an appeal by the wording of the rule. Another good quirk in the rules to remember.

Unlike many, I can man up when I'm wrong or made a mistake. I know I've read that before, but I, like many, had it as once you leave the field, you can't appeal. It's a easy change to add to my game.

It's not so much a quirk in NCAA rules as it's an ambiguity. Where NCAA rules are unclear or not specific, they defer to OBR. Under OBR's official interpretation, for BOO that ends an inning, an appeal must be done before the first pitch to the opposing team.

This NCAA test question had two possible correct answers. Many people I know thought they answered it correctly but got the question wrong on their exams.
