Fair enough ... another possibility that could make this OBS and not INT was if the ball was actually past F6 when contact initiated.

Not saying any of these were the case ... just answering the "I can't see how this COULD HAVE been OBS" part. Sounds like they actually ruled INT - but misapplied the penalty (and mistakenly called DDB instead of DB).
