Anyone know when it will be available? I know the test closed last night. Ready to see what I missed. I thought it was available as soon as the test closed in the past.

Could someone explain to me why this would be false?

 
From Appendix D in the rule book:

 

 

 

 
1. If a situation occurs after the last out to end a game and this conduct would result in an ejection during the normal course of play, the umpire/crew chief will issue a post participation ejection.

 

 
Question #32
A post-participation ejection is an ejection that takes place after the game is over.
a. TRUE.
b. FALSE.

I think because it ALSO applies to a former pitcher, even though the game is still going on.

 

I would disagree with that logic (I think the question is true, if not complete).

 

I would not be surprised to see the test rescored to allow both answers.

 

edit:  There were some issues with some of the other questions, but I thought this was the worst of the 70 text questions.

R2, R3, no outs. B3 bunts the ball in the air along the first-base line with the runners moving on contact. As the first baseman moves in to make the catch, he collides with B3, who was not trying to interfere.

a. No interference. The batter did not intentionally interfere. This is an example of the "scramble/unscramble" play.
b. Dead ball, interference on B3. B3 is out and so is R2 for the interference of his teammate. R3 returns to his base.
c. Dead ball, interference on B3. Since the interference was not intentional, only B3 is called out. All other runners return to their "time-of-pitch" bases.
d. Dead ball, interference by B3. Both B3 and R3 are out. R2 returns to his base.

Where in this question does it say a double play is imminent?

If the runners are moving on contact and there's a bunt in the air ....

Did anyone else have 10 suspension based questions like I did? Why is that any of our concern?

Because we need to know it (or at least know where to find it) for the suspension report.  And, we are supposed to tell the information to the team (at least whether there is a suspension) at the time.

 

And, because there's a new chart and the NCAA wants us to become familiar with it.

Yeah I thought of that, but that doesn't make the answer false. The statement in the question by itself is true.

Well, I don't need to look at my test...that's the one I got wrong.

Yeah, they're looking for precision, so when HC Mickey Dedunce comes out in the second inning after you handed his removed pitcher a pp saying  "the game isn't over yet", you can say "it not just for after the game".

Check that.  I got that one right.  I filled in the unintended circle on one question and it prevented my 100%.  Oh well, if I'm going to miss one I'd like to miss it that was as opposed to actually getting it wrong.
