Jake80,
We were advised of the presence of Rule 2-5-1b when we covered Infield Fly rulings. If an Infield Fly lands beyond that imaginary line from 1st to 3rd and then rolls " foul ", it is ruled by definition a fair ball - for purposes of the infield fly, this is important. If defensive player does not catch the IF, and it rolls " foul ", batter is still out and ball is live. Runners may advance if the defense is not sharp enough to pick up on BU signal of fair/batter is out and immediately retrieve the ball. I don't know if that helps you or not.
ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!
On 2-29-3, I think we are looking at a timing play situation for purposes of the ruling. If a runner passes 2nd base ( and was forced there ) and he is tagged after he passes the bag, any run that scored on any part of that play - even if the runner is already past 2nd without touching it - the run does not score. Hope that helps.
