I understand what a fake tag is and its repercussions.
Im not asking about a fake tag, im asking about a defender doing an act to intentionally deceive the runner that is not clearly explained in the rules.
Ppl are saying a defender can do anything they want besides physically obstruct the runner or fake tag, but the definition of OBS says a defender who hinders or impedes.
why doesnt deceiving the runner fall under the definition of hinder or impede?
