Around here we interpret it to must slide to avoid contact. but if contact is made there is no penalty as long as he is sliding. however we do call the penalty for sliding head first.

First of all the rules state "must slide OR avoid contact".

You will probably NEVER see a "must slide rule" by any legitimate organized league because if little Johnny slides and hurts hisself, than little Johnny's parents are going to sue your butt for his injuries.
