Discussion: Rule covering runner touching base

On a related note, Bruce M quoted this rule.
(If the runner steps through the batter's box or touches home plate, they would be out as well.)
In the Syracuse tourney we had a runner called out because he ran "to close" (umpire's call) to the batters box. Umpire said it did not matter, it was his decision. He was close (4 inches?) but not in box.

I see you still have my NorEasters 80s playing 2 games at 9:30.
Unfortunately, I only have 13 players. Can we get this changed?

Tim, unfortunately the NorEasters are still looking for more players. I have a roster of 21 players but
only have 10 bodies to go to Westminster. We are still looking for players but if we can't find at
at least 1 or 2 more players by Tues PM we will not be able to come. Wish us luck. Not that you need to know but here is what I'm dealing with (11 players): sick wives, sick sister, knee problems, eye injury, college orientation, vacation, heart problems and a death in the family (as of today).

My team paid their entry fee but we didn't get a list.
Why aren't teams listed on the tournament website as has
been the normal in the past?

From NorEasters 80s...No 80s at Syr last year. We are most likely going to
go to the:
2023 Proton Sports Presents the Bert Bennett Memorial (SSUSA)

July 13-14 (thurs/fri) in Westminster, MD 2 day tourney $500

Syr is 3 days and $650

I believe Pittsburgh and Peachtree are also looking to go to this
tourney. So there could be 4 teams.
More info may be available from Fred @ 724-662-4947 (Pittsburgh team).

Discussion: Change in Player Eligibility for 75+ and 80+ Teams

As a manager of an 80s team, I agree that this is a significant problem for
filling a roster. It basically takes away 4 possible players when
it is already difficult to find/replace guys. All 80s managers in
the East I have talked to have the same problem. We have a problem
getting 3 AAA teams to a tourney as it is.

Discussion: defender touching first base orange bag first

Thanks Dave, this was specified by the umps before our games in the 80s division.
"Batter/runners touching any portion of the white base on a play at 1st will be called out."

Topic: Rules of the game
Discussion: defender touching first base orange bag first

Umpires and rule 8.4(1)
Rule states "the batter-runner must touch SOME PORTION of the double bag extending into foul territory".
Umpires at Eastern Nationals stated at the beginning of each game that if the batter-runner touches any part of the white bag they are out. I referenced the rule but they would not check. As it turned out we had one play at 1st where the runner touched half orange half white. He beat the throw but the ump called him out for touching the white bag. Does this rule change for certain tourneys or umpire association?? Otherwise, our team had no problem with the running of the tourney.

Conversely, What if the batter/runner touches the white bag first and then drags his foot across the orange base ?? Safe? if he beats the throw.

Isn't there a safety rule where the defender must touch the white not the orange and the batter/runner must touch the orange ??
