Still learning as a relatively new ump…

OBR, 13U A ball (lowest/most recreational level in Manitoba)
Batted ball is a grounder to SS. R2 is running a direct line from 2nd to 3rd. SS is stationary one step behind the runner’s path waiting for the ball.
R2 passes in front of SS as the ball arrives - does not touch the ball but is definitely in the SS sightline. SS misses the ball.

I didn’t call interference, but I think I should have?

15U (Canada) but could be any age really:
Every second kid that gets on first base calls time so he can get his sliding mitt from the first-base coach, and then stands there for a bit putting it on.

Do we have to wait for this kid to be settled and ready, to call play?
