It would appear that in FED and NCAA just sliding past the bag is enough to call interference. In OBR the runner would need to be out of reach, and as I originally think I said, if he slides past the bag such that he can't reach it anymore, I have interference.

In FED it would only be interference if he interfered with the play so just sliding past the bag would not be interference.
He must alter the play being made by F4 or F6.
Of course, how in the world would F6 be turning a DP when he is six feet on the other side of the bag - isn't going to happen.
And how would F4 be six feet from the bag, - ain't gonna happen either.
Thanks

In FED, sliding past the bag and making contact or altering the play is interference. NCAA seems to agree. Just sliding past the bag and not making contact or altering the play is not interference. I never said it was, I don't think.
There ain't a play if a fielder is 6 feet from the bag. But let's say 2B is on back side of back and in contact, receiving a throw from SS. The runner slides past the bag, and either contacts 2Bman, or alters his play and ends up well past the bag, ie not in reach. Have you never seen this happen?
