Courtesy Runner Rule
The Bandit Runner may be anyone on the roster. She must be designated before the game begins. She will be the Bandit Runner for the remainder of the game. She may run for anyone at any time. If she is also in the batting lineup, and her turn at bat occurs while she is on base, her position in the batting order will be an out. There shall be no other penalty.
The Bandit role may not be substituted. A Bandit Runner may be replaced on the base only by the player she is running for at the time. The Bandit Runner role is then lost for the remainder of the game. As stated earlier……..if her “turn at bat” occurs and she is ON BASE, an out will be recorded for her position in the batting order. There are NO exceptions. Her turn at bat occurs when the previous batters turn at bat has ended. “Play Ball” or “Batter Up” need not be indicated for her turn at bat to occur. If a runner other than the proper designated runner assumes the base an out will be recorded in the book and the runner will be removed from the base. The correct runner may not assume that base at that point.
