Getting back to the original post, in the case of IFR, the rule is very clear that it only applies if the ball is fair. In the case of OBS, the rule is also clear that you only award the base that would have been reached absent the OBS. The problem is the rule is not clear on passsing a preceding runner when the ball later becomes foul. I agree with Mike's proposed rule change for ASA. A similar change could be made in the NFHS book.
