The one play that I have seen that is consistently missed (for us, against us, in games we didn't play, and even at the recent USSSA elite select Futures World Series at the Space Coast Facility) is the bunt where the ball does touch the batter. It happens every tournament that we play in at least once. My $.02 is to blame this on where the home Blue positions him or herself. They just can't see the ball hit the batters foot (none take crazy hops, but the contact is clear from my view, typically next to our dugout with a scorebook).

If an opposing batter gets on base in this situation, the HC should call time, politely mention to the plate umpire the he/she saw the bunt touch the batter, and ask if the plate umpire would check with the field umpire to see if they saw the same thing. If it was clear from your angle, it might be clear from the field umpire's point of view.
