Runner Taking Second?

[The Man In Blue]

Actually I think it's probably illegal in 10U. This is a small D3 college (1,440 students) with a total female enrollment of about 200 out of which they field softball, lacrosse, track and field teams, so don't be too hard on them. The thing about this play that stunned me was that it was so late, the pitcher was actually standing behind the rubber looking at the coach for the pitch call. So the runner must have slow walking back to the base. She might have even stopped short of the base, I certainly wasn't watching her.

This is the part that baffles me on this rule and that interpretation. While it allows for the "non-commitment" it does still state the runner's action must occur immediately.

That's fine if you want to slow walk on the line, but the rule does not allow for you to do so at your leisure.
