True or false?
As long as BR slows, “pulls up” slightly, or hesitates; even if no turn; OBS is the call; even though F4 is slightly past base.
ASA rules priority, but any other you think is different.
This topic will not be helped by HTBT responses. 
Please do not use it to chide or demean each other.

Where was F3 in relation to the BR? In front of, behind, next to?
Where was the BR when s/he began to check up? How far from 1B?
