For the record, I wasn't confused either. My point was that the "or" changes the way the rule can be applied.

Proper mechanic for obstruction by F3 on R1 on a pickoff:

"Time. That's Obstruction. You (point at R1)...2nd base (point at 2nd base)."

After reading your original post, where's the obstruction? MC, maybe but obstruction, no.

If there was a fake tag, then there is obstruction. I am going to assume that the fake tag was the reason MC actually took place. Then again that would take the OPer to clarify that position.

A fake tag IS obstruction in FED.

It is also obstruction in many OBR-based leagues with an eye on safety. Both adult leagues in San Diego prohibit fake tags.
