Sounds like International Tiebreaker

The idea of the tie breaker is to create the possibility of scoring a run, not set up the defense for a DP.

I worked a HS tournament this week where the progressive TB was in effect. Thank goodness I didn't have to use it. A runner at 2B is plenty. IMO, it's a great solution. It creates various strategies for the offense, doesn't give too much advantage to either team, and it doesn't put the offense in a position where a routine double play puts them behind the 8-ball. It's similar to the college/HS football overtime rules: both teams have an opportunity to execute after regulation to win the game.
