So,
Taking a test with questions on rules that are not used in every game is beneath you. Perhaps part of the reason those questions are test items is to find out if you have read the rule book. Knowing the size of the batter's box is not important? I think it is. How many times have you seen both teams obliterate the chalk lines so they could get an unfair advantage. I've had coaches tell me I can't call their batter out because the box wasn't marked. This is after his kid has hit a ball with his front foot in the grass of the infield.
Rules knowledge is the most important factor.
Mechanics follows.Then "game management".
You have to know the rules, not the myths to use mechanics properly. Mechanics put you inposition to apply the rules properly. If you are doing these things properly, then game management is easier because there is very little conflict to manage.
