Question

Rule set LL also Tourney play rules for LL
R1,R2. Cannot recall outs doesn’t matter to me at this point.
2-1 count F1 delivers a Ball outside making it 3-1
BR turns tosses his bat and starts trotting for 1st
I say out loud but there is cheering going on and it probably drowned me out. 3-1.. he gets another 2 steps “Batter 3-1”. He’s now most the way down the line and near the bag. The other two R1 and R2 both started sauntering towards their next base like they thought it was a walk too when he was halfway down the line. I blow it dead. “Time”. “Batter count is 3-1 you need to come back”,and I tell the other 2 runners they need to retreat to their previous bases. Things settle out and the At bat Manager asks for time.
Then he questions me on sending the runners back.
I say Coach its considered a deceitful play for the batter runner whether intentionally or not to attempt to take 1st on a 3-1 count and thus the other runners should not advance on that deceit by the offense on the defense.
Its considered unsportsmanlike.
He argued it for about a 20 seconds and I repeated unsportsmanlike deceit of the defense coach.
Now I am pretty sure we went over that in class in Bristol and I am at that point 100% positive in LL. They would not let that go
After the game one of my 2 man crew said he would have let the runners stay. Well now I’m chipping away at it and I’m down to 80% Did I fubar that call. Little League rules , also mind you 10U not that it matters much I’m positive it goes majors and minors.
Sigh.. I’m so frustrated I looked for what I could find but I do not have Senor Azul’s skills at searching these things.

I get that and I noted I would not use what I did above 12 yr olds in LL. Based on what I have heard here, what I did was how I was instructed to the best of my memory and one other that was at the sa

The good news is that you'll get this right the next time you see it.
