Would you agree that FED still doesn't have the language aligned like MLB since 8-4-2j and 8-1-2Note seem to be in conflict with that?

There shall be no accidental appeals on a force play.

I think (a) the relevant rules are 8-4-1f and 8-4-2j; (b) they conflict; and (c) it doesn't matter.

So you go by the adage, "tie goes to the runner"?

My apologies - I wasn't intending to start the old "tie goes to the runner" discussion (+1 bob jenkins). My only point was that in an article that specifically refers to runners going to first base, the citation in the article to 7.01 was incorrect. The correct cite in that specific situation - B/R at 1st, is 6.05j

I agree that the article was one of the better written for non-umpire readers. However, in a forum designed for umpires, I thought a little more accuracy would be appreciated. In response I get "who gives a $hit" and "you're gloriously wrong".
