3) What seems to matter in FED is intent, although there's some controversy. See 2.5.1E (which would have this as a fair ball) and 8.4.1A (which would have this as an out -- but may be opnly because B1 was still holding the bat).
Thanks for the correction - I knew I had seen it I just couldn't remember where and for some goofy reason I then proceeded to quote the wrong reference. Sometimes you wonder if it wouldn't be a bad idea if they combined the rule book and case book into one. You would think that FED could charge twice as much!!!
