NCAA. Does type 1 and 2 OBS apply when only type 2 occurs?

In otherwords - if R1 is obstructed by F6 on a base hit to the outfield, do you enforce type 2 by awarding R1 3rd AND enforce type 1 by awarding the BR 2d?

No, OBS is either one or the other.

Is R1 rounding 2b and heading for 3b and minus the OBS would he have safely reached 3b? You have a judgment to make there. If you don't think he would've reached 3b anyway, you protect him to 2b, not 3B, he can advance there on his own minus protection...assuming you think he'd have reached 3b, you protect him to 3b. As for the batter/runner, you have a judgment to determine there as well...however, you might leave B/R at 1B, you don't have to award him any base other than what he's reached on his own. You have some judgments to make there, that is for sure.
