Not being argumentative. Just want some education on this. Thanks.
In FED, yes, the umpires get to make up something they think is fair.

In your example, if 1BU said it was a catch, why would they overturn it: it WAS a catch.

AFAIK the only relevant provisions for placing runners appear in existing replay rules, which don't apply to the OP. And placing runners for a HR or foul ball is not difficult.
