Who judges this stuff. They don't even have lights on the field. Would you rather have a nice field and suck at baseball or have a terrible field and be good? That seems to happen in the 8th region.
1. batter is out
2. once he touches the bag and comes off in any direction, fair, foul, whatever, he can be tagged out
3. no runs count because it was a force out at first
4. he gets 3rd base
The 8th region Class A teams are a joke. I mean really, you are talking about Eminence, Walton, Wtown, Henry, Gallatin, etc. The only decent teams in the 8th are Shelby and Anderson. I guarantee you the 8th region final is played by those two.
