1. I won't disagree that this is interference. He clearly interfered with the fielder while arriving at the bag the same time the fielder did and the ball
2. In our play the fielder was straddling the bag waiting for the throw.
Once again, I think it's probably the fifth time, I will still stick with my original statement, I would most likely have to see this, before I WOULD flat out say it was a violation.

Most F6 will straddle the bag waiting for a throw from F2 on a steal. I don't know why you expect him not to do so. The FPSR says he must slide or avoid.
From the American Legion Rules book;
"Clarification 1 If a runner goes into a base standing up and does not make contact or alter the play of the defensive player, interference shall not be called"
In the case at hand the runner did contact F6 and did alter the play. Had this been a force situation (the original post was not) then it's a textbook FPSR situation. Stand by your original interpretation and take the heat you are sure to get. You clearly don't understand FPSR.

This is my last post on this subjeet to you. You obviously don't get it, and will not admit that your interpretation is in error. Did you watch the NCAA video to which you responded? Obviously not. The ruling was that the runner went in standing, and made contact with the fielder, an obvious violation of FPSR.
Stick to games that don't use NCAA, FED, or American Legion rules and you should have no problem with your FPSR interpretation.
