I don't do Fed but have read a lot about it on these boards and know a few fed guys. It is my belief that they changed it back because half the Fed guys weren't calling the missed base and the other half got there arse wrung out when they did.
Rather than go to straight OBR on the appeal deal, they make some other crazy rules to compromise the situation.
The one Fed rule I like is the obstruction rule where the fielder has to have the ball before he is allowed to obstruct, not just in the process of making a play. G.
