I try to get to my sites early. In the time before my partner gets there, I read 1 rule or a section from the case book. I go in no particular order, unless I had something odd the day before.
Some "veterens" are put off take it for not being prepared, I feel it is making me more prepared. This allaows me to get my head into the rules and mind on the game. Also, if you have a tardy partner it helps you focus, instead of worry about the time and short pre-game.

I am with you Brian (and Bradley)... My rules book is tattered at the edges....
I attended the local assoc meeting Wed.; it was my 1st ever, because I never knew where & when they met. I happened to talk to another association member who inadvertently mentioned it. That in itself says something about how "recruitment is lacking". I brought this up at the meeting and discussion was held in reguards to recruitment AND retainment of new officials.
Anyway, back to my original thought, I noticed many of the "Vets" did not have their books and many others had books that appeared like they had never been opened.
