Can someone go over the string theory again? That really helped me out but it is vague in my mind again.

The "String theory" applies only to FED rules. Attach an imaginary string from F3 to F4 to F6 to F5 (assume they are playing in somewhat "normal" positions). If the ball goes past the string before the runner is hit, the runner is not out. If the runner is hit before the ball crosses the string, the runer is out.

Under current OBR rulings, the string theory is not valid.
