(If it matters, FED rulebook, casebook, and manual).

Step 1: Forget what you "know" about baseball and umpiring.
Step 2: Start with the rules definitions.
Step 3: Read the case book definitions and follow up on any cases you don't get right.
Step 4: Read the rest of the case book, skipping the "playing field" and much of the "scoring" section (in FED, the first, iirc, section of scoring is important.)
