I'll yield to your knowledge of the ASA rules, but I beleive the arguement some ASA posters have given the the interference overrules obstruction may be interperted to only apply to the obstructed runner may hold some water. One would need to see the sentence structure and read the whole context to see. Something the interperters must do.

The book states in rule 8:

"Should any act of interference occur following any obstruction, enforcement of the interference penalty would have precedence."

Where is the need for interpretation? Seems to me that if the rule was meant to be applied to specific scenarios, the word "any" would not be included in the rule.
