When does contact turn into a crash?

Ok, using wording from a post on Runner runs over catcher Dakota listed there are 3 catagories us umpires have to place the "collision" into

1) contact (no call)
2) crash (interference)
3) flagrant crash (eject)

I know this is a HTBT type of situation, but I am looking for what you all use to determine what makes the contact turn into a crash and then what you would consider a flagrant act worthy of an ejection. I have seen some hard contact that was perfectly legal, so what do you all use to determine a crash has occurred....even then what knocks it into the flagrant crash catagory. Again I know it is a HTBT but just trying to get an idea of where you all draw the line, what types of activity do you look for to move from 1 to 2 and then from 2 to 3.
