SAFETY first? "F4 and F6 pretending to turn a double play when it's really a fly ball to the outfield in order to fake out the runner is a perfectly acceptable deception, and forces the runner to keep his head in the game. Now, if they do fake a tag, and induce the runner to slide, then we have a problem. Now they have indeed obstructed in FED, LL, and other modified OBR rule sets. In strict OBR it's just part of the game,
but most youth ball is safety oriented."
Not LL. I suppose if I had my choice to allow a fake tag on a runner who must slide safely into the bag or YADA YADA YADA {you already know what I was going to SAy}. Reality bites.
