Not in FED...on a force play he has to slide directly to the base...

A slide is illegal if...the runner, on a force play, does not slide on the ground and in a direct line between the two bases.
Has FED now said that you can slide through the base as long as you don't make contact or interfere with the play??

1) The play was in an NCAA game, so the NCAA rule was cited (and it was in effect in 2007 as well).
2) It's always been the rule in FED that a slide past the bag was "nothing" unless contact (or altering) is also made and the contact occurs past the bag
