I don't think I'm too far off from you or Jim on the obstruction rulings.

The response I gave to David was very similar to Jim's post.

The only real difference that I read between what I posted to Bfair and what you and Jim stated was how to handle a runner protected by Type B obstruction that was then caught into a rundown. I will concede that if you did not call time when a Type B obstructed runner was caught in a rundown you could very well end up with a third world play on your hands. If you'll notice in my post, I acknowledged that fact, and put ? to my answers concerning the rundown and a Type B obstructed runner. Now, if I am making an error in my thinking on something other than the "rundown" thing, let me know, because after looking at many of the sources you name, I think that my understanding of obstruction is correct. I don't want to continue to be wrong.
