And yet, in the MLB example that was given, the run did count. And MLB rules are the same as FED Softball rules when it comes to protests of rule misapplications. So there is some precedent here.
I do have a problem with states that say they won't accept protests. That's fine when it comes to regular season games. But for post-season playoffs at the highest levels (e.g., regional/sectional and state as a minimum), something should be in place.
