Is the IFR really that hard to figure out

[Stat-Man]

Yesterday was latest slow pitch game. Wha I thought was the biggest AA moment came when we were on defense.

Runners on 1st & 2nd with one out. Batter hits a pop up into the infield that the umpire immediately calls an infield fly. For whatever reason F6 misses the ball and it drops. Runners take off as soon as the ball hits the ground and we end up turning a 6-4 infield fly double play. Other team wasn't sure what the heck just happened. Is the IFR realy that complicated to figure out?

We also had a scary moment when one of our batters hit a line shot off the pitcher. Our BR freezed as soon as it happened, and F1, who is still on the ground, picks up the ball that is next to her and puts out our BR at first. He got a lot of grief when he came back to the bench for that. The opposing F1 was fine and finished pitching the game for her team. Apparently, what I thought was a shot that hit her wrist, hit her upper leg.

Only if F4 didn't tag the runner prior to reaching 2B.

Last weekend, after a game someone asked "don't you have an infield fly rule in softball?". Being a courteous type, I said "of course". He complained about two infield popups that inning not being called. Still being courteous, I asked "called for what?", and he said "infield fly". Anyway, the two sits were (a) one runner only; (b) runners on 1st & 3rd.
