Fair enough. I learned something today. In all respects that I can think of, it is identical to a force out (tag not necessary, runs do not score if ending the inning, etc.), yet is not as ASA defines a force out as applicable only to runners, not the BR.

Interestingly enough, I found another ASA/NCAA rules difference. I guess I learned two things today. In NCAA, the appeal of a missed forced base is treated as a force out, even if the batter/runner was put out or the force otherwise removed. NCAA 12.26.7

Another difference being no previous base to go to if the force is removed.

Sure there is. If the on deck batter is put out before the BR is, then the BR may return to home and bat again. ;-)
