Correct me if I'm wrong, but a ball that lands beyond the line directly between 1B and 3B is fair in FED, regardless of where it rolls, but in OBR, the ball must hit fair territory beyond 1B or 3B - meaning past the line between 1B and 2B or past the line between 2B and 3B.
I'd have to get my books out again, but I seem to remember that a perpendicular line drawn from 1B will intersect with a perpendicular line drawn from 3B at the CENTER of 2B (again... correct me if I'm wrong), which would put the front corner of 2B in front of the line mentioned above that makes it a fair ball.
Yes, this is a nit I'd never pick in a game, and this sitch is probably very TWP.
