With an IF, the BR is out and declared so prior to any opportunity for a play, deceptive or otherwise, so runners are free to advance at their own risk KNOWING they are not forced. The IDB cannot be called untill there is an actual play upon which the runners generally are returning to their base.

If you kill the ball on an IF, you are possibly penalizing the offended team. It is extremely remote that would occur on an IDB.

I have no problem with the two rules and their respective effect.

Got it. The "effect" I thought you were referring to was "EFFECT:" in the rules.

I think I have the precedence thing clarified. Thanx folks.
