I'd like to see on the test a few questions like this that reflect actual things to think about commonly on the field.
T/F
The ball is fair when:
It hits behind third base then bounces foul (picture might be even better)
It hits the foul pole
It hits a rock in fair territory then bounces to the fence

Then it'd be reasonable to expect a competent umpire to breeze through it. You could even ask some tougher ones.

It hits the discarded bat in foul territory then comes to rest in fair territory.
or
It hits the discarded bat in fair territory then comes to rest in foul territory.

If the questions were like that, it'd be a great study guide and great opportunities to practice.

Or mark false for each illegal substitution ...

It hits a player's dropped sunglasses in fair territory then comes to rest in foul territory.
