When does OBS end?

Well I made it a triple so I had a play where the Batter was stopped at 2nd and then the ability to have the "delayed" award of OBS, since that was what was bothering me....

Irish,
Are you getting at awarding R1 home if she was slowed by the OBS? Is that why you are asking about the play at the plate?

If R1 was at first and B2 gets a triple, then R1 would be awarded home based on the OBS award for B2? Interesting thought, but I don't remember where we can protect another runner based on the OBS....award home if she stops at 3rd and I am awarding B2 a triple sure....but can we protect R1 going into home? Wierd cause in this case if we don't protect R1 then she can be out based on the play if she tries for home, but would be awarded home if she stayed at 3rd....seems kind of like a loop hole huh???

Not at all, just curious. R1 was NOT affected by the OBS therefore is not entitled to any special treatment.

So I guess to sum it up for the OP, OBS protection ends when the runner has advanced to the awarded base. If you think they've got 3rd, then give them 3rd.

The rules supplement go into a lot of depth on the subject. Give it a read if you haven't already. It's RS #36, I believe.

Irish,
I agree but it is wierd that if she stays at 3rd she will be awarded home....but if she tries and fails then she stays out! but as they say 'em-r-the brakes!!
