In Fed, if the batter is touching the plate with his foot when he strikes the ball he is out, even if the the heel of his foot is still on the chalk of the box. "touching the plate" is cause to be declared out.
In OBR, batter can be touching the plate and still not illegally hitting the ball if the heel of his foot is still touching the chalk. Touching the plate is not necessarily cause to be declared out in OBR. A foot must be totally out of the chalklines and on the ground when he strikes the ball.
There IS a difference between OBR and Fed.
Just a note,
