I do have issue with 116. If R1 remained on 3rd base and never attempted to advance to home, how could R2 ever have been safe at 3rd base? She cant, that base is legally being occupied by the lead runner. I agree with it being obstruction and the runner cannot be put out, but I do not agree with putting her at 3rd and advancing the lead runner to home.
In USA softball, it is supported to give the obstructed runner the base and advance the runner occupying the base. This is documented in RS 36 Obstruction. Its a long section and this statement is somewhere in the middle.
