Call us back when you read the rest of the rulebook. The book says one thing for BR, the opposite for runner - and it's almost a definite thing that they didn't intend for a tie to go to the BR, but not to a runner.

Any good umpire knows there's no such thing as a tie, and that it's our job to differentiate between ball-beats-runner and runner-beats-ball. If you'd like to join that club, feel free.

But this thread was not about ties....

Not sure why you feel the need to insult, but you have to look inward to find that answer....

Taught and read the rulesbook for years....my statements are not something I pulled out of my ***, but have been taught to me for years by people whose credentials are pretty much as good as it gets.....

And I HAVE seen ties. DEAD ON "I cant tell the difference" ties....SEVERAL....and they will go to the runner.

If you ever wanna discuss it without resorting to childish insults, look me up...
