Story By.

To be honest i was thinking the it was probably an Original Screenplay credit, was going to put it as Writer or Screenwriter

This is how i was reading the credits
The original story was written by George Worthing Yates this was adapted for the screen (could be considered Screen Story?) by Russell Hughes and the final screenplay was done by Ted Sherdeman, does that make sense?

IF anything I would say that OMB is probably the absolute closest pssinility. It can't be a Story Ny for the simple  reason that they gave a SPECIFIC Story By Credit.

Skip

From the brief reading up on it I've done, the "Adaptation" credit seemed to be used mostly where someone would have an influence over the direction the resulting screenplay took from the original material but didn't have enough direct input to warrant a screenplay credit.

I'd personally probably just leave it out or keep it local, but would have no objection if I saw it as an OMB credit on a submission.

The way I read the credits, the screen play is based on the adaptation.  Because of that, and the notes section of the crew chart, OMB seems the best choice.

Would the credit "Based on a Premise By" get OMB or nothing

I might be inclined to award that with OMB, yes. I've also seen "Based on an Idea By" already. Whether it's a book, a play, a screenplay, a premise, an idea - it's all "original material" serving as some kind of basis for the screenplay, isn't it?
