I don't see why that award is bad....If you don't penalize the defense for OBS, why wouldn't they obstruct every time?

Yes, but all obstruction in FED has a minimum award, as in OBR Type A.

imo, it's wrong to say "Fed (or NCAA) is like OBR type x" -- they just are what they are and if we work multiple rules sets, we need to know the multiple rules.
