Q- R1, 1 out. BR hits to F4, who throws to F6 at 2B. F6 has one foot on the bag, 1 foot outside the baseline (i.e. to the outfield).
R1 slides with lead foot to the outfield side of the bag, but not to the bag. He makes no contact or alters the play of F6 making the turn. You as the PU or BU based on the throw:
A. R1 did not slide into the bag, dead ball, R1's out and BR is out.
B. R1 made no contact with the fielder and did not alter the play of F6. No FPSR violation.
I'll withold my comment for now. Thank you for yours.

The key words for FED you included in your first statement -
"there was no contact or altering of the play"
As long as the slide is legal, then you do NOT have a FPSR. FED changed that a couple of years ago.
He didn't slide directly over the bag, but since he did not alter the play - no penalty. I'll check my books to get the actual ruling, but this is often misinterpreted by FED officials.
Thanks
