That pretty much means any D3K where you don't see the ball scooting to the backstop or rolling around plain as day in the area around home plate.

This is what I was told by an evaluator when I used my discretion and decided not to use the mechanic in D3K sitch.
I see. IMO a pitch that everyone in the park can see bounce off the ground into F2s glove is an obvious U3K but of course if that's what they want so be it. Thanks for the info..no NCAA ball for us here so I have to live vicariously through you!
