You signal That's Obstruction and keep play alive UNTIL there is a tag attempt on the obstructed runner or the obstructed runner reaches his protected to base.

When there is a tag attempt you make the call - out or safe

Then signal TIME

In OBR Type B you decide which base IF ANY the runner would have achieved absent the OBS.

Pete:

I have a question about a Type B Obstruction. B/R is obstructed while rounding 2B in attempt to stretch a double into a triple. At the time of the obstruction there no play being made on the B/R, after which a throw is made to F5 at 3B and F5 tags B/R out as he slides into 3B.

Is your above description the correct way to handle the play I just described? Thanks.

P.S. I do agree with you about the DDB signal in NFHS. Just point and announce.
