There are also those cases where two codes word the rule similarly but interpret it differently. I'm thinking of R2 stopping in front of F6 on a ground ball and then proceeding just before the ball reaches him. INT in Fed, nothing in OBR. However, you wouldn't know from reading the rule as written.
We also had that play a few years ago where A-Rod yelled at F5, causing him to misplay the popup. Again INT in Fed and nothing in OBR (though apparently Bruce Froemming claimed he'd call INT on such a play). And again you can't tell from the written rule.
I stopped doing Fed several years ago, but I did find the rules differences difficult.
