"ASA isn quite unique in that they allow the play to continue *and* have the option of awarding the obstructed runner to *either* of the bases"

I meant to say that "ASA *is* quite unique" in that it is the only one that seems to apply the obstruction penalty in a rundown in this manner.

I can't think of any set of rules that would not award the obstructed runner the ADVANCED base while in a rundown, no matter which direction the runner was heading. Some sets of rules would kill the ball immediately and some would maintain a delayed dead ball.
