The intent of the rule has always been to protect the runners from a cheap DP, so the interpretation, if not the wording, should be based on whether the ball will come down where an infielder could make the cheap DP and get rid of the "ordinary effort" factor.
That regional clinic in DC is really looking like a good idea.
Which topic do you want me to present?

ok, BECAUSE:
1) I wrote what I've been taught about the apex timing
OR
2) I understand the rule, but want it changed?
