Hey welcome to the blue!
The first thing you need to know is forum umpires love debating nuance.
I havent read this whole thread, so its probably a lot of that.
The OP stated lands on the foul side and rolls fair between H/1B.. so that is what? Fair.. so IFF would apply since it applies to fair balls (as opposed to foul balls).
