They were actually discussing this very question during the Braves Game last night. The answer is 1 run.

Not 100% sure but i believe that if the batter is scored as having a double then they have to score 2 runs for the men that were on second and third, the man on first would end up on third. Even if the game is tied, if its a ground rule double then the hitter is given a double which forces them to have to score both runs and the batter would be credited with 2 RBI's. In a situation where the batter gets a hit without it being a ground rule double, then it would only be scored as a single which is why they would only count 1 run on the score. Its kinda like hitting a grand slam in that situation, they would score all 4 runs, not just the one run that wins the game.

It depends how many runs the hitting team needs to win the game. If one run wins the game than only one run would score and the batter would be given a single, it would not be ruled a ground rule double. All other scenarios the hitter would be given a double and two runs would score and runners would be on second and third bases. The definition of a ground rule double is that the ball landed in fair territory and bounced over the fence or in an area not reachable by the defensive player with no fan interference. However, if it is ruled fan interference the umpire would make a determination as to how many runs would have scored and could allow all three runners to score.

It's 2, no matter whether they needed one or two. This is similar to a home run hit with men on base when there are more runs scored than needed; those runs do count (e.g. down 6-5 and hit a 3-run homer in the bottom of the ninth, the final score is 8-6).

Depends.
The inning, the count and bases occupied should have nothing to do with it, except that runs scored in the last inning together with operation of the ground rule may determine if a game is won, tied, or lost.
Ball still in play? Then as many as can cross home without being tagged out, except for the hitter himself. Could be the players on all 3 bases, could be just the guy on third, could be no one. The double applies only to the hitter -everything else is still "in play."
Ball out of play? In that case just two runs: the players on third and second base score. Player on first goes to third, hitter is on second base.
Usually, the "ground rule double" is a local rule which will also specify whether the play ends with the hit, or not. Typically it is applied where there is a very short outfield wall or some obstruction, such as a big tree, in the middle of the outfield. If the ball goes over the wall, and can't be retrieved, the play ends, runners advance. But if it hits the tree and drops to the ground, the local rule should say what happens next: dead ball, or still in play?
Sort of like "winter rules" in golf. Sorta.

everyone moves up 2 bases ... 3rd scores, 2nd scores, 1st to 3rd, and batter to 2nd.
That would be 2 runs
Then its bottom of the ninth with 2 outs runners on 2nd and 3rd (unless the game is over, considering it could have been a game winning hit)

Depends if the game is tied or the other team is behind by a run or two. If they are behind by a run 2 runs score but if the game is tied one run scores & the game is over.

Hitting genuinely David Ortiz, the guy is so grasp. He can get it completed with especially much any pitcher, and he proved that rivera could be overwhelmed. Mariano Rivera isn't that reliable, aside from final night he continually blows the shop against the sox. it fairly is the type of tossup for pitcher yet i might ought to bypass with Cy youthful. Why?? maximum wins all-time and a 300+ wins, and oh yeah he has the leagues ultimate pitcher award named after him. NUFF suggested

1. If tied 1 run scores.
2. If down by one or more runs, 2 runs score.

2 - All baserunners advance 2 bases. The runners on 2nd and 3rd score. The runner on first goes to third, the batter goes to second.
