If the ball rolls foul it is foul, if it stays fair it's a fair ball, no interference.
Okay, so if I hear you right, Federation is saying that if the batter drops the bat on a fair, bunted ball, the umpire should not call interference.

Is that correct? If so, doesn't that seem a little, well, strange?
