When is it dead?

[UmpTTS43]

This example is why keeping the ball live on type b obs is bad. The obstructed runner is tagged for the apparant 3rd out, so the defense is not going to make a play on R3. I would kill it on the tag, give R1 second and place R3 then deal with the coaches.

UmpTT,

That's how I'd deal with it under OBR (and, starting this year, NCAA) rules.

FED, I'd let it play out.

I don't disagree with your qualitative judgment, but, it's their rules, so I do my best to abide them.

What are you going to play out? Three outs have been recorded so it would reason that all play is going to stop, at least by the defense.

Once three outs have been recorded, the way I understand the rules, the ball is dead anyways. Could be wrong.

I understand the dilema in FED's play it out senario, just sayin.

Now that you know when to write the obituary, what do you do with the runners?

Whatever you want. Just award R1 to 2B at a minimum.
