I don't do AFA ball - don't think thre is any in Pa. What happens if batter-runner passes 1B without touching it? Is it the same as ASA - batter-runnr assumed to have touched it for purposes of out/safe but can be called out on appeal if before he/she returns to the base?

Steve,

Yes, the ruling for missing 1B is the same as ASA -
BR assumed to have touched it and can be called out
on proper appeal before returning.

In AFA at this time, we just using the double base
as one big base. Probably in near future we will go
with the ASA ruling all the way.

You know, now that you mentioned it, I have not seen
a team from Pa. in any of the AFA tournaments. I have
done five Nats. four 18U and 1 16U and dont recall
seeing a Pa. team. Will look in my old program books
and see.
