My apologies for the arrogance comment. Your frustration with this one is justified. I swear I've read sections 6, 7 and 8 5 times this summer but that never stuck with me.
I'd still appreciate any links to good sites with FAQs, etc., or a good book that goes into more situational detail than the official book.

New umpires I always teach:
1st -learn (don't just study) all of the definitions until you can nearly quote them verbatim.
2nd - always be careful to read all of the little footnotes, additions and other small print - usually that's something that was added later or a change from the large print.
but I'll agree with you, sometimes its hard to find things in a rule book no matter how hard you try.
Thanks
