That is not true. If the out effected was a force at the time of the appeal, it is still considered a force out.

NFHS on the other hand considers the appeal of a force out to be a force out, thus negating any runs that score if the appealed force out is the 3rd out of the inning.

It is a matter of when the force is in effect, not that ASA ignores it.

There was a case play IIRC (or maybe a test question), that read as follows:
R1 on 3rd, R2 on second, R1 on first, with 2 outs.

That R1 must be a helluva player
Quote:
B6 his a ball into the corner and advances all the way to home plate. R2 missed third base. The defense properly appealed the missed base.
Ruling: R2 is out on a force out, and no runs score.

Same for ASA & NFHS
