Rule of the week:

Force outs

Don’t look like a total noob on the first week!

A simple way to put it is, if the runner HAS TO RUN it is a force out. If the runner has the choice of whether to run or stay on base, but they choose to run and advance, THEY MUST BE TAGGED OUT. 

Scenarios:

Scenario 1: If you are on 2nd base, your teammate is on 1st base and the ball is kicked on the ground, you must run to 3rd base, therefore it is a force out at 1st, 2nd and 3rd base. 

Scenario 2: If you are on 2nd base, no one is on 1st and the kicker bunts fair, it is a force out ONLY at 1st because the runner on 2nd base has the choice to stay on base or to run to 3rd. Therefore, if the runner on 2nd decides to run to 3rd they must be tagged out.

Any questions? ASK YOUR CAPTAINS! Or just ask on the Canyon facebook group. Try to learn the rules. It will make you a better player and people won’t hate you for making silly mistakes!
