I'm looking for a Fed interp.

Bob Jenkins gave us a Fed interp:

Under FED, all obstruction is a delayed dead ball. Outs on unobstructed runners stand. The rest of the award is . . .

BR is awarded at least first (farther if the umpires so judge), other runners are awarded the base they would have reached (again umpire judgment). If the umpires in the play at hand judge that's second for BR, then the other runners will be "forced" to advance and the runs will count.


Since the runner out at home was unobstructed, his out should stand. Runners not put out would score if forced home by the award to the BR.
