When the rule book says the defense must use the white portion that would mean they can not use the orange portion.
Which brings me back to my main point. Should a runner be called safe if the defense uses part of the orange base on a play requiring them to use only the white?

In using that phrase then, would you call the runner out for touching a portion of the white bag when defense is making a play. In the CSA rule book it states that a runner who touches both white & orange is considered to have touch orange and a defensive player who touches both white and orange is considered to have touch white, providing that there was no obstruction. " I don't have my rule book in front of me so some of the wording might be different but the idea is the same.
