Had a couple of these in American Legion games last week, both were probably HTBT but still wanted to get some opinions anyway. I'll try to explain them to the best of my ability.

1) R1, 1 out. Ground ball to F6, tosses to F4 for the out at 2B, no chance for double play even though F4 goes ahead and makes the throw, way late. Almost as soon as F4 gets the ball and the runner slides, the defensive coach starts hollering, "He overslid the bag, that's gotta be interference!" Now I know that oversliding the bag, in and of itself, is not interference, BUT one could theoretically interfere because of oversliding the bag. At what point would we say a runner sliding into 2B has interfered by oversliding the bag? (Note: Legion ball uses FPSR similar to NFHS, it may be the exact same thing, not sure.)

If you are not sure then look up the rules. Here's the link

Legion as a collision rule ala the NCAA and a FPSR ala FED.
