Sample Question:

Your umpire in A position. Long fly ball over head of F8. Your asleep and think it's a ground ball to F4, and hustle into position to make safe/out call at 1B. BR digging hard for extra bases runs into you, and you fall on top of BR. 1B coach goes over and rolls you off BR so he can continue to 2B. What is the proper call?

A) Call BR out for coaches interference
B) Call umpire interference and award BR the base you think he would have obtained if you hadn't been asleep
C) Call 911 because you've fallen and you can't get up
D) Call Domino's Pizza
I believe the original question was about the Federation test, not the Texas test.
I think this is in there because it happened to Carl.
This added bit of information makes this a "trick" question. Since Carl starts in B, even with no runners on base, BR would be out of the baseline when he ran into Carl. Call the BR out.
