Infield fly

[Mr. Kibitz]

I'm a softball parent looking for a clarification of the infield fly rule Even the locall umpires seem to be in a quandry over exactly how to proceed. Can anyone here tell me exactly what the IF rule states. My own look at the rule book version left me even more in the dark. What is the rule and what is the consequence of an infield fly? Thanks.
