That is not an act of interference. Nothing in the rules requires the runner to immediately disappear after they are put out.

I never said immediately and that it is an absolute. I said it COULD be interference. And I also said it is very very rare for it to occur.


I wish I had a cool signature

No, it could not be interference, by rule. There must be an act of interference by the retired runner. And no, at no time do the have to abandon their path. Actually, abandoning their path is more likely to cause INT since that would be an act which could interfere with the defense's attempt to make an out
