The questions are written like this:
X happens.
Y happens.
Z happens.
Now, True or False: when Blahblah happens, the ruling is Blahblahblah.

You have to assume X, Y, and Z already happened. If you can't assume that, then NONE of the questions (even the ones where X, Y, and Z are completely normal) make any sense.
That may be but if the score is 10-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning and the pitcher throws a pitch which travels untouched through the strike zone and the umpire rules strike he's missed the ruling because the correct ruling for that play is the game was over before the pitch. And if the ball is hit over the fence and he rules home run he's wrong because the correct ruling for that play is the game was over before the pitch. Why is the score even in the question if that's not the point?
