Let's see... R1 on 1B. Speedy BR gets a base hit into shallow left field. R1 OBS by F4 and knocked down. Due to location of the ball, R1 is judged protected to 2B only. BR passes R1 while R1 is down. F7 throws to F6 at 2B to attempt to retire BR (or R1?) and overthrows the ball into RF. F9 lets the overthrow get by her and chases it down. R1 gets up and continues. R1 ends on 3B and BR crosses home. OK - you have an exception for a runner being out for passing an obstructed runner. Great. Now what do you do?

I wonder if those codes that have this exception have any horror stories on it, or any interpretations on how to deal with it?
