8U rules conundrum

If you consider the "placement" of runners the same as a "base award"...this rule creates the first example I can ever recall of a negative base award (when the runner isn't yet to the halfway line and gets sent backwards).

That doesn't seem very "rewarding".

Well that's not true at all. How many times to you have obstruction but only award the preceding base? All the time.
