I wonder if it were actually allowed. As long as I've done U-trip ball, I've always known the rule to be an out if they arrived at 1B with the bat in hand. Nothing forbids them from carrying it up the baseline, just they have to drop it before they touch the bag. I know NSA (when a certain city around here was using their rules) didn't prohibit carry the bat beyond 1B, but that was 10 years ago, so I'm not so sure about them anymore.

That's been the rule the whole time I've worked Utrip, which is running about 10 years now. I know there were some serious quirks back in the days I played some Utrip (and that was about 15 years ago or so), but I don't remember the running the bases with the bat. Of course, if I'd known that was permissible when I was playing, I would have been banned for life because I would have used it for ulterior motives.

It is a USSSA rule. To the best of my knowledge, no other organization uses the rule.

Yes, I know, but I was responding to CNB comments and question as his belief is factual for other rule sets.

And something tells me that's why U-Trip prohibits that act.

Not sure if it still is the rule, but I used to work ISA and the rule was similar... You could not be carrying the bat when you touched 1st base.

actually i was asking only in regards to usssa slow pitch (its 8-4-g BTW and its only regarding a live ball play... not lets say, a homerun.).... but now that you mention it.... has anyone ever had a BR carry their bat around the bags during a fast pitch game? I know i havent (yet) and if i did i would rule thats its nothing if asked by the opposing coach.
