a fair ball is a batted ball which: contacts fair ground on or beyond an imaginary line between first and third base That's the Fed rule. OBR is different. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How is OBR different? OBR does not recognize any line between 1B and 3B. For example, if a popup lands halfway between the mound and 2B and then somehow spins foul untouched (between home plate and 1B or 3B), it's a foul ball. In Fed, it would be fair. More likely is a ball that lands behind the 1B-3B line near 1B or 3B and then spins foul between home and 1B or 3B. Fair in Fed, foul in OBR.

There seems to be some confusion regarding my last post, regarding the difference between Fed and OBR.
Of course it does not matter where the balls spins if it first lands in fair territory past 1B or 3B in OBR or past the imaginary line connecting 1B and 3B in Fed. But if the ball first lands two feet fair and one foot before 1B or 3B, it is fair no matter where it spins in Fed, but in OBR it could still spin foul.

fly debate
The ball is alive and runners may advance at the risk of the ball being caught, or retouch and advance after the ball is touched, the same as on any fly ball. MLB/ORB 2.00 infeild fly.
ok thats the answer i got before but the rule on statement dosenot mention catch. can anybody referance retouch/tag up rules to me. |

There is no difference in FED and OBR on a ball that lands in fair territory beyond 1B or 3B. It is fair, regardless of where it spins. |

If it is 2 feet in front of the bag, then it can't be beyond an imaginary line linking 1B to 3B.
My post specifies two feet fair and one foot in front of the bag. That would put it BEHIND, by a few inches, the imaginary line connecting 1B and 3B. That is a fair ball in Fed no matter where it spins.
