USSSA does have one up on local league rules. "Seek to avoid contact" gives the umpire control to use his judgement, and if I believe the runner was trying to avoid contact, then he's going to be okay. Local leagues and their "must slide" rule eliminates that option.
The bottom line is to avoid malicious contact and not have 11 year olds attempt a violent home plate collision like they see on TV.
