Can someone tell my why:

1. From the set, F1 must come to a complete stop with no runners.

2. The prohibition on turning the shoulders to check a runner begins when F1 brings his hands together rather than when he has come to a stop.

3. A balk is an immediate dead ball.

4. F1 cannot step and throw to a base from the windup position.

Ive had a few too many Czechvars and the gorilla arm set me off. I hope I don't regret this post in the morning.
For #1, I don't think that has ever been true.

What the hell is a Czechvar?
