That's a bad call, IMO, and I would not rule that way: the spirit of the appeal rule is the same in FED as OBR, and the rule permitting dead-ball appeals is merely a convenience. I would not allow that convenience to trump the scoring rules: one run scores.

Runners get to complete their awards before any dead ball appeal.
