That wasn't the situation, so I'm not sure why it matters.

If it was only R1 on 1st base at TOP, then 3BU would have been near 2nd base.

That was my point, sorry for the misread.

OK, I was going by the "pick the ball up and get the force on R1 going into 2nd base."

It was your terminology that caused his misread. If R1 is on first, bases can't be loaded, can they?

In FED mechanics, no. But is that the same convention that NCAA uses? I don't have a CCA Manual handy, but perhaps they use R1 for "Runner at first", R2 for "Runner at second", etc.
