F6 was doing the hold tag until runner gets up thing

[Andy]

Personally, I got tired of the standoff on this play.

It's like the old movies where two guys are holding guns and each others faces...nobody wants to shoot and nobody will "win".

As soon as I see that the runner has safely attained the base without a possibility that she will overun it or fall off...I'm calling time....let's play ball!

MMMMMMMMM
Runner trying to get up with a fielder holding a tag on them .Try to get up withsomeone holding you down
Isnt the fielder impeding the runner .
Therefore its obstruction .
We get this type of thing all the time (with different rules plays etc ) when a team starts getting Umpires at usually u15 level .
Coaches , who dont know the rules and are in a mind set of softball 10 to 20 years ago and have never played the game to a higher degree have taught all these things to kids including the above trick .
As soon as the get Umps , the big question .
"When did that rule change "

Calling "time"? I hope this isn't a FP game as that is a live ball game and you don't call time unless you have to call time.
