NFHS Rules Test
 

Ten Questions Missed Most on the NFHS 2010 Rules Test Part 1

Q 1). The pitching regulations begin whenever the pitcher contacts the pitcher's plate. True or False.

Q 2). Upon proper appeal, the batter who batted out of order will be out. True or False.

Q 3).With one out and runners on second and third the batter-runner hits a single to left field. The runner
on third base touches home while the runner on second misses third and scores and the batter
runner misses first and safely goes to second. The defense properly appeals the runner missing third
base and then appeals the batter-runner missing first. One run will be scored. True or False.

Q 4). When a runner, who left a base too soon on a caught fly ball, is attempting to return, it is considered
to be a force play. True or False.

Q 5). A batted ball is considered to be in flight until it touches the ground or a fielder. True or False.

Q 6). A BATTER IS OUT WHEN: The runner on third base interferes with the third baseman's attempt to
catch a fly ball. True or False.

Q 7). A pitcher may wear a white or gray compression sleeve as long as it does not extend below his
elbow. True or False.

Q 8). It is not obstruction if an errant throw pulls the first baseman, without the ball, into the path of the
batter-runner and denies him access to the base. True or False.

Q 9). If a runner leaves a base too soon on a caught fly ball and is properly appealed by the defense for
the third out, all runs scored by runners in advance of the appealed runner and scored ahead of the
legal appeal would count. True or False.

Q 10). If all runners including the batter-runner, have advanced one base at the time of the first play in the
infield, the two base award for a throw that becomes dead is from the time of the throw. True or
False.

If I remember correclty, the touching of the mound has to be intentional.

When I took the test I missed #1 and #8. I was thinking train wreck when I read #8. They really hand it to you on a platter when you re-read it. "Without the ball" and "denies him access to the plate". Duh.

Change mound to pitcher's plate and you remember correctly..

I was about to miss #5 until I thought about it for a second.

You might miss that one on the test but you would never miss it on the field.
