What in the world does this mean? The way I look at it if the ball lands behind this imaginary line and has enough back spin to roll over the foul line before it has passed first or third it's obviously a foul ball. Or am I totally missing the point?

Jake: You're missing the point, at least according to black letter law of the NFHS. What is "obviously a foul ball" is a fair ball in FED.
