Just wondering what your thoughts are on this. Rule 2.22.1 defines Obstruction High School rules
As others mentioned in FED the determination of OBS is "imminent"

Defintion of Imminent - About to occur.

RECOMMENDATION: Read a FED case Play on when F1 attemps a pickoff of R1 and F3 goes down on one knee.
