Bases loaded walk

Well, first I've never seen it. Second, if I was trained on the correct mechanic I don't remember, but here's how I've imagined I would do it. I'd make a ddb signal, call out illegal, and then an appropriate award signal and then I'd sit back and enjoy the chaos.
But yeah, I'm not about to claim that I know that to be correct.

You seem to be making the claim that their can't be live ball awards and therefore this can't be a live ball award. But a walk is a live ball award and it doesn't engender the problems you're concerned about so I'm not sure why this would be the case.
