RefMag Quiz

[noumpere]

From RefMag (paraphrased) :

R1, no outs, 1-0 count on B2.  F1 fails to stop (balk called) but delivers a wild pitch that rolls to the backstop.  R1 attempts to advance to third and is thrown out.

a.  B2 and all runners who did not advance are awarded at least one base.  Return R1 to second.

b. The play on R1 stands and he is out.  The balk is "acknowledged" and the count remains 1-0 on B2.

c. Immediate dead ball and award R1 second.

 

FED is easy:  C.

For OBR and NCAA, I have B.  RefMag has A.

 

Did the rule change?

 

(And I am not picking on RefMag -- I have written many quizzes and had some embarrassing errors; I just want to check my rules knowledge on this.)

No rational rule change would give you "a". A fat thumb or index might with poor proofreading. OR Fed is proven correct that a balk should be a dead ball because.......

Refmag strikes again.  They have  a wrong answer in the ‘23 pre season guide. NCAA had to issue a correction on the the RefQuest hub.

Don't feel bad... I was just doing our HS study guide and found a bunch of typos which make the obvious correct answers 'wrong', at least logically.

 

Always love it when an educational organization cannot proof read their own documents. 

And yes, I AM perfect. I never make mistrakes.

On the positive side these wrong answers get the brain churning, as long as you do question it and not accept at face value.

This is true. When I take these quizzes I never  open the book unless I get one wrong. And opening the book is the ultimate goal of quiz taking.

"own" is redundant and unnecessary

You are going to correct another person's grammar without any capital letters or punctuation in your correction?
