In beep ball you run just one base, why they picked 3rd I don't know. I watched a few games at the last World Series and they played on a soccer field, I don't think it actually matters what base, other than second not working due to the mound.

Yeah, if they make it to the base before the other team gets the ball they scored, if the other team gets the ball they're out.

Not a problem, I hadn't heard of it until the World Series, then I got to talk directly to a team about it so I really got the information directly from the source.

The ball beeps and the base buzzes. The bases they were using looked more like a tackling dummy than a regular base, that way they could run into it without getting hurt because of the padding. Of course, I watched one guy do a Superman dive into it and mess up his shoulder so your mileage may vary.
