Mike - I don't see that interp even vaguely applying to the situation described. That interp would not be valid for a scored runner that touched home plate on a force, and then proceeded back toward third base for some reason (which is the case in our OP sitch) - it's only valid for a runner that is still a live runner (which doesn't apply for a scored runner). And you didn't answer my questions about the older player in a similar situation.
Dakota, I respect your opinion to disagree, and admit that this is grey area no matter which way you rule. However, I maintain that this IS a runner who has scored, under the rule "Score a run when...". The superceding rule that disallows the run because this is a 10U runner does not give me anything to indicate that there is anything that could put this runner back in jeopardy. There are other rules that disallow runs on scored runners (force play on 3rd out, advantageous 4th out appeal, appeal on preceding runner for 3rd out, etc), but none of these place the runner in question into additional jeopardy - so I can see no analogous reason to determine that this 10U runner would be in jeopardy under any circumstance.
