There seems to be alot of questions about the High School Slide rule. Here is the rule for everyone to read. Also, each commish will be sending it to the divisions managers for the manager to relay to the team.
B): Force Play Slide Rule:
of the force-play-slide rule is to ensure the safety of the defensive player. This This a safety as well as an interference rule. Whether the defense could have completed the double play has no bearing on the applicability of this rule. This rule pertains to a force-play situation at any base, regardless of the number of outs.
On any force play, the runner must slide on the ground and in a direct line between the two bases.
* Exception - A runner need not slide directly into a base as long as the runner slides or runs in a direction away from the fielder to avoid making contact or altering the play of the fielder.
(1) "On the ground" means either a head-first slide or a slide with one leg and buttock on the ground.
(2) "Direct line'' means the runners entire body (feet, legs, trunk and arms) must stay in a straight line between the two bases.
(3) If a runner goes into a base standing up and does not make contact or alter the play of the defensive player, interference shall not be called.
(4) Contact with a fielder is legal and interference shall not be called if the runner:
(a) Makes a legal slide directly to the base.
(b) Is on the ground at the time of contact and the fielder moves directly down the line between the two bases to attempt a play.
(c) Makes a legal slide and makes contact with a defensive player who is on or over, but not beyond, the base.
(d) When the base runner slides beyond the base, but does not (a) make contact with, or (b) alter the play of the defensive player, interference shall not be called.
(5) Actions by a runner are illegal and interference shall be called if:
(a) The runner slides or runs out of the base line in the direction of the fielder. (Note: This does not infer that contact must be made for the interference penalty to be applied).
(b) The runner uses a rolling, cross-body or pop-up slide and either makes contact with or alters the play of a fielder.
(c) The runners raised leg makes contact higher than the fielders knee when in a standing position.
(d) The runner goes beyond the base and either makes contact with or alters the play of the fielder.
(6) Beyond the base" means any part of the offensive players body makes contact with or alters the play of the fielder beyond the base.
(a) The runner slashes or kicks the fielder with either leg.
(b) The runner illegally slides toward or contacts the fielder even if the fielder makes no attempt to throw to complete a play.
PENALTY:
(1) With less than two outs, the batter-runner, as well as the interfering runner, shall be declared out and no other runner(s) shall advance.
(2) With two outs, the interfering runner shall be declared out and no other runner(s) shall advance.
(3) If the runners slide or collision is flagrant, the runner shall be ejected from the contest.
