This isn't so much a rule question as an application of the rule question.

Situation: R1 on 2nd. F6 playing a bit deep, behind the base line. Batter hits an infield grounder up the middle. F6 is charging on the ball, R1 is advancing to 3rd. R1 runs in front of F6 and behind the ball. No contact is made.

What do you look for before calling interference?

If everything was in very close quarters, is that enough for interference? Who gets the benefit of the doubt?

In discussing non-contact interference during my "down time" in a tournament this weekend, I found that the majority opinion was that F6 would have to show obvious signs of being impeded (slow down, stutter step, deviate in some way) to get the call.

What do you look for in this situation?
