Question on protocol. Since 2 runners have scored ahead of the obstructed runner, now that time is called, do we just award R1 the bases? And all she has to do is touch third and home [or have a sub do so if she's seriously injured]? By that I mean, we don't bring the other 2 runners out of the dugout, place them behind the obstructed runner, and then have all three "score" in proper sequence?

Thanx.

You can bring runner's back from the dugout?

And can a runner return after a succeeding runner score?

Not usually. So how do you score the obstructed runner? No need to rolleyes, I'm asking a question.

If I don't roll my eyes, how am I supposed to see the right answers on the brim of my cap?

Look, I'm just raising questions where the interpretation affects or is affected by other rules that may not of been considered.

OK, I'll try to make it easier to answer.

Question on protocol. Since 2 runners have scored ahead of the obstructed runner, now that time is called, what should the umpire(s) do?

I believe that we should make the award and if the runner touches each base awarded then the run should be scored.
