Last years fed quiz from NASO

My favorite was /is #7

A batted ball is foul when it strikes a rock positioned halfway between the pitching plate and second base and rebounds into foul ground between home and third.

Although the ball didn't pass the bag, it is a fair ball in NFHS.

Are you saying that the answer is wrong? Or are you saying it was your favorite because it's tricky? Because the ball did "pass the bag"

Very legit question. 2-5-1.b clearly states that it is a Fair Ball if it "contracts fair ground on or beyond an imaginary line between first and third base" Passing a base has nothing to do with the question.

Give the men a bone. It's code specific to NFHS. If you hadn't read the definitions, you would never know where to find it. Got myself more than one cold one off this last year.

Wow. Even the first year rookies should know this one.

You would think Bob, however last year my board gave out this answer at the beginning of the test telling everyone it was wrong. Afterward, I had a brief discussion with our "training officer", he was amazed that I actually found/read that. He nor any other board member were aware of the it.

I agree, but I have found that generally, those that don't read Chapter 2, probably haven't read much of 1 or 3 and even 4-10 either.

I'll admit to not reading much of 10 myself. 1 thru 9 however I will read and highlight every year. I try to make it part of my pre-game habit to read a chapter before every game still.

I remember seeing a diagram posted on this site a while ago regarding the same fair/foul scenario for MLB. The difference being, the ball must pass a bag to be fair, does anyone have that diagram?
