If we had a clear cut definition of "beyond", then this would solve everything.
We do - in FED, "beyond" is anything that crosses a straight line between 1st base and 3rd base. In OBR, "beyond" is anything that crosses a line running perpendicular to the foul lines from 1st and 3rd base (these lines meet at second base).
