The reference to "our team" suggests that bwbuddy is not an umpire. His question suggests that he's not familiar with the rules.
bwbuddy: the answer to your question is that by rule, contact anywhere is incidental until it is obstruction, interference, or malicious contact.
To put it another way: there are no guidelines for when contact is incidental, since that's the default. The guidelines are for INT, OBS, MC, etc. If you get a rule book, you will find definitions of all of those terms (see rule 2). The case book will give you rough guidelines.
If you have a specific play in mind, we can offer suggestions about how we might rule, but judging contact is very often a "had to be there" situation.
I think that's what etn was getting at.
