FED rules, high school varsity game which is being televised on a local access station.
Top of 7th, home team leading by one run. The visitors lead off the inning with a double to put the tying run at 2nd. As the BU is pivoting in from position A, he notices that the BR missed 1st base, but no one else seems to have noticed. The BU nonchalantly takes position B. The pitcher gets ready to pitch and the home team announcer says over the PA system: "The telecast clearly shows that BR missed 1st base so you might want to appeal.
The pitcher correctly steps off the rubber and makes the proper appeal.

The announcer is EJ'd that means 3 more.
My guess
The first base coach and the OM
That's 3.
Now you didn't give us the final outcome so perhaps the umpires got together and decided that since the Defense ORIGINALLY had no intention of appealing the missed base and only did so because of the PA announcer, then they reversed their decision and left R2 and second base. The decision could be based on the fact that No replay equipment is to be used and in a way that's precisely what happened.
Now here comes the DM and he in turn gets dumped which makes 4 Ej's
How did I do?
