I no longer do Fed, but I am wondering if they either jettisoned or modified their infamous "accidental force play" rule this year.

Abel hits a ball off the fence. He misses 1B, touches 2B, and slides safely into 3B. However, F5 lazily tags Abel anyway. Is Abel still to be called out immediately, without an appeal, for missing 1B? (Can there be an intervening play, for example?)

And if Fed did keep the rule, have they defined exactly when liability to be put out on the accidental force play ceases?
