Well, they got rid of appeals after intentional walks, but apparently they kept the accidental appeal on a force play. So if B1 hits a triple but misses first, you call him out if F5 leisurely applies a tag while B1 is standing on 3B.

And if B1 hits a home run and you're the only one in the park who saw him miss 1B, you call him out if the catcher hands him the ball for a souvenir.

Glad I retired from Fed and will never have to call such idiocy.
