Others have quoted 7.03 saying that the preceeding runner always has priority but in this situation I'm quoting 7.01 which indicates that R2 loses his right to second base because of the force situation.
Which is right?

Go tell those bone heads to read the rules
again!
Explain to them that when you have R1 & R2, any hit becomes a
Force Play!
Because of the
Force Play,
has to go to 3rd -
there is no option to return to 2nd base in this situation! F6 can tag as many people as he wants, R2 is out and R1 remains at 2nd in this situation. R1 lost the right to 2nd base the moment that the batter registered a hit and that is all there is to that.
I also suggest that you cease operations at that no-nothing site - unless you want to become like these morons!
