The OBR interpretation is that if you cut the base on a 45 degree angle, the runner must have two feet past to be "past", or else he is still "prior" to the base and does not need to retouch on...

Yup, you won't find it.

8-2-E addresses the runner's lane (three-foot lane in USA terminology) and has no "last step" provision. 8-2-N dictates that the double base is to be used at 1B in all...

Nebraska uses the same 12/3; 10/4; 8/5 rule in high school as they have adopted for ASA USA JO FP play. JV is on a 1:45 timer.

Caveat: IMHO

Batted ball contacts batter/runner - "Out" of the box

Debating this with some local guys. Sitch: Stereotypical bang-bang batted ball bounces up and hits the BR. All codes have this as a dead-ball out if the BR is out of the box.

I guarantee I'm going to end up calling an IP in a 1st & 3rd situation when F1 has her "designed plays" listed on the armband. I'll post here when it happens. :D

As an aside, R1 still needs to tag up at 1B during the dead ball before advancing on the base award, or he is at liability to be called out on appeal.

Sitch: No runners on, 2 man system. Assume a...
