Just this past fall, we had a scenario with a different umpire. IFR in effect, batter pops it high in the infield where F4 or F6 catches it right behind the pitcher. Umpire rules it can't be an infield fly because it was caught right behind the pitcher's plate. Frustrating, but not much one can do about it in this league and setting.

Back on topic, I actually found the Cactus Umpires lineup management PowerPoint useful as a scorer, so I try to manage any scorecard I keep as close to that as possible.

If F4 or F6 catches it, NP, if the ball is not caught .....
