That's the part I am getting stuck on.

Well, if the IFF rule takes precedence, then it's not an IDB.

You're correct, I phrased that poorly.

What I SHOULD have said was "in every case when the intentionally dropped ball rule is invoked, the ball is immediately dead, and the batter-runner is called out."

I apologize for the confusion.
