a. R1 is guilty of interference.
b. R1 is out for diving over F3.
c. F3 is guilty of obstruction and R1 is awarded second base.
d. Legal play.

I said (b), the state says its (d).

Rule 8-4-2-b-2: "Jumping, hurdling, and leaping are all legal attempts to avoid a fielder as long as the fielder is lying on the ground. Diving over a fielder is illegal."

What am I missing? Thanks for your input.
Diving over a fielder that is on his own two feet is illegal. A fielder laying on the ground is not. The state is correct. This is the same ruling in FB too.
