2) The ball hits a tree (which is outside the fence, but a significant portion is dangling in fair territory) and (a) goes over the fence or (b) falls back into fair territory and is caught by F8. Would the ruling differ if the ball just grazed the tree?
3) The ball hits the foul pole (which is entirely INSIDE the fence- not even with it) and (a) goes over the fence in fair territory (b) goes over in foul (c) deflects off and comes back into the field
If there is a difference between OBR and FED, be sure to note it.
Thanks!

Points 1 and 2 are pregame ground rule issues.
Point 3 Never seen it and I never will. Sounds like your classic TWP!!!!!!!!!
