I agree it's pretty hard in FED to actually call this because it seems to me that nearly every time I see some access for the BR.
I had a play the other night where R3 slid into the F2 but there was a whole back of the plate that F2 had left open. I did not call it OBS, but the coach did ask me about it the next time he had a chance.
I considered it simply bad baserunning, but some one could have called it OBS just as well and gotten away with it by FED rules.
