Say same scenario .In your opinion a 3 bagger but BR is not fast .
OBS just past 1st but a good recovery and throw he is tagged out at 2nd . Obviously we would all call dead ball safe on the OBST .
My understanding is you would then award him 3rd .
But as he was tagged out at 2nd the OBST was minimal (we would judge 1 , 2,3 or 4 steps ) you have already judged a 3 bagger . But as he was tagged out going into 2nd there was no way he would have ever made 3rd even without the OBST .
A BR rounds 1st and is OBST on a hit you judge a 3 bagger but pulls a hamstring going around 2nd and stops on 2nd .
The injury made him stop not the OBST . Would you still award 3rd .
I have never seen a R obstructed that stops .
Maybe I should go back down and umpire girls under 16 or 14
to get a "feel" of the way you award OBST.
In fact I have been invited to Umpire in an Australian U16 boys national tournament in 2 weeks . I will award as you do so give me some more help and examples please .
