In that situation, protection is only afforded the runner into third base. The proper mechanic in multiply runners for the PU to take the lead runner going into third, so the PU needs to jog up the third base line and into position to make the call at third while the BU comes inside for any play behind the lead runner and to cover any play at home. More or less, they switch positions and responsibilties. If R1 rounds third makes for home, then the protection for her ends, and you would cover as described above. If she is safe at third there is no obstruction, and if she is out, the obstruction makes her safe. The BU has the obstruction call, but the PU has the call at third. I have always done obstruction as a sgnal, so as not to interfere with any play that might happen. Let the play end, then make all calls, and then, if the obstruction comes into play....protection for the runner at third...etc. discuss and enforce.

Just a question,
What rule and mechanics book are you reading for this?
