Steve, I've always heard it's never too late to declare the IFF, but never heard how (to declare the delayed IFF).
Say we both miss the fact that it's in effect, the batter pops up, ordinary catch is dropped, and (a) multiple outs are made because runners didn't run, or (b) no outs are made due to runners off on the pitch.
In (a) when OC complains about the no-IFF call, do we protect the runners back to 1st & 2nd and call batter out?
In (b) when DC complains about the no-IFF call, do we send the runners back to 1st & 2nd and call batter out?
This assumes that we agree that IFF should have been called, we just missed it.
