Splitting the Difference

[rbmartin]

FED Rule 8 Section 3 Art.2
When a runner is obstructed while advancing or returning to a base, the umpire shall award the obstructed runner and each other runner affected by the obstruction the bases they would have reached, in his opinion, had there been no obstruction. . If the runner achieves the base he was attempting to acquire, then the obstruction is ignored. The obstructed runner is awarded a minimum of of one base beyond his position when the obstruction occurred. ..... When obstruction occurs, the umpire gives the delayed dead ball signal and calls "obstruction". If an award is to be made, the ball becomes dead when time is taken to make the award.

Did they get it right ??
NO

This saddens me.
