How would you rule on these plays.

I'll let you know what I hear. [/B]

The FED rule is simple, you do not have to slide but if you choose to slide, it must be a LEGAL slide (Some call this the Forced Play Slide Rule).

FED 8-4-2 b through g (inclusive) spells it all out (it's way too long to type out {again!}). Those of you with FED books, read it. Those that do not have FED books, I'm sorry - I've typed this enough times on this board that it should be a permanent fixture here! He-he-he-he :>)
