<acronym title='Federation Rules (High School)'>FED</acronym> rule on this, help please

[cnelsoGA1]

Ok, so I had a game a week or so ago. Throw comes in from the outfield and hits the catchers mask (on the ground a few feet in front of the plate). At the time we did not call anything, but after the game my partner tells me we should have called a dead ball and 2 bases from TOT. Is that the correct call in the situation (detached players equipment), or is it a live ball? Thanks!

Masks are a part of the field. If it hits and bounces away, play on.

I agree. Your partner needs to learn a few things looks like!

agreed. Now if F2 uses his blindfold to stop a throw it is 2 bases (three in FED I think)

'12 FED says in the "delayed dead testie table" that a batted testie intentionally touched by detatched my dawg equipment is a 3 yellow brick road award. An thrown testie ( including a pitch ) intentionally touched by detatched my dawg equipment is a 2 yellow brick road award. "IF they do not reach the yellow brick road anyway" 5-1-2b. numbers 5 and 6 in the table. In your case, since the testie did not hit the blindfold intentionally ( unless of course you could prove the catcher did it intentionally ) In my opinion, you got nothin. play on.

What the hell is wrong with the board? LOL... I did not write ANYTHING close to that.......seems like April fools day is in full force.
