Awarding Bases

I need a little help.

The batter hits the ball to the outfield.
The outfielder catches the ball and throws to first trying to double up R1 before he tags up. The throw ends up going out of play before the runner makes it back to first. Can you please tell me where the runner should end up?

Speaking ASA, two bases from the time at which the ball left the fielder's hand (8-5-G). Does not matter if it's a primary throw, secondary throw, etc., as ASA does not have that in their rules.

In ASA, it does not matter which way they're going. It's where they are.

This is what I thought. Since R1 had already achieved 1B then they would be placed at third.

No, it's because R! is on 1st or between 1st and 2nd. The difference is if R1 passed 2nd then returned, could be past 2nd at the TOT.

I don't believe the OP mentions this.

NCASAUmp... since you mentioned it (and it came up this weekend), the pitch is considered the primary throw, which if thrown out of play, is a one base award.
Is this correct?

Correct, just correcting "achieved 1B", in another post.
