This is a great example of a situation not covered by ASA's rules/interpretations, an umpire knowing what other sanctioning bodies have ruled, and making a decision based on that. It's a good reason to look into other sanctioning bodies.
On another note, Roger, I agree that it's far easier to visualize R1 starting at 1B, R2 on 2B... but the standard softball way of stating this is that R1 is the lead runner, R2 is the second runner on base, & R3 is starting on 1B. I have to stop & think each time - to see "which hat to wear".
