The runner will either be safe or out, so there is no tie. |

Now in the real world we all know there are no ties.....we get paid the $1,000 a game to determine which came first, safe or out!! After that we start in on the chicken and egg issue. |

So? This is a softball board, isn't it? |

No, you don't understand... If there was a "tie", buy rule you do not have an out.

I also understand there can be no tie called. Why look for tie's? Why worry about them? By rule "It is the defense's responsibility to put the runner out, not for the runner to be the defense. Rules require the defense to put out the runner before they reach 1B" as in post #7 Rule mentions no tie, there is no need for a mention so why bother trying to see a tie! The defense makes the out, or they don't. |

Yes, this is a softball board. Just making an observation. Not only are they games played two different ways, they are also officiated two different ways.

If I happen to perceive a tie, then I'm going have to judge it a tie. How do you expect to rule on something that is beyond the abilities of human perception? If you perceive a tie, but still rule that one event or the other happened first, then you are just guessing at the outcome.

Rule 7.08 (e) He or the next base is tagged before he touches the next base, after he has been forced to advance by reason of the batter becoming a runner.

And to continue this idiotic discussion......
All we can rule on is what we perceive 1a : to attain awareness or understanding of b : to regard as being such 2: to become aware of through the senses; especially : see, observe if you perceive the ball hit the outside corner, it hit the outside corner..
