Balk with BOT - Question from Germany

[TM]

Warren, please consider:

The decision balk or play and the BOT-decision are two different plays.

Imagine the situation as the umpire:
We're at the time when the walk just happened.
You have to decide, stands the balk or the play.
You know NOTHING about the BOT, you don't know if the defence will make a BOT appeal!!

You have now to decide: balk or play (of course by OR 8.05 penalty).
Remember, whatever you decide, the other way will be thrown out of the window completly.
If the balk stands, no part of the play will have any effects.
If the play stands, the balk will be nullified COMPLETLY and FOREVER.
You can't have him back.

So, after the BOT appeal, there is no balk at all any more and so no way to use it to put the runner on 2nd.

There are no loops!
