R1 on first base. Batter line drives a ball to the second baseman. The 2nd baseman makes the catch. r1 has come off the base. 2nd baseman throws ball to 1st baseman to pick runner off without taging. r1 is returning to 1st base. Ball misses 1st baseman and goes into a dead ball territory. Do you reward runner 2nd or 3rd? Is ruling different from asa,nfhs,and ncaa? or all the same.

In ASA, Federation and PONY, you award 2 bases and allow the runner to complete their base running responsibilities. The runner would wind up on 3rd.

Can't help you with the other sets of rules.

the only question i have is i cant remember who or where i heard/read it but in some cases i thought that you award the base they are going to plus one. now if that is a false statement than awesome, i would just like some clarification.

That's one of those "coachisms" or "fanisms" if you will, that we hear so much of. I believe ISF may follow that procedure, but under all other codes (ASA, FED, NSA) it's 2 bases, period. Runner must complete his/her baserunning responsibilities by tagging up in this case, but she's awarded third base.

Ok, so it's U-trip, not ISF that uses that phiolosophy. All other codes, 2 bases.

Edited to coorect ISF statement

I believe that this is a USSSA ruling. I am not absolutely certain, since I do not call U-Trip, but it seems that I have read that on one of these boards somewhere.

I think we have a few blues (or "reds" :))that regularly call U-Trip on the board, maybe they can provide a definitive answer.

In USSSA they would get 2nd. Retouch counts as the base they were going too.

Utrip only uses the one + one in slow pitch. Not fast pitch.

I don't do slow pitch.

Agree with Roger, same as rest.....
