I carry a rule book too - it's in my trunk. I have a small library there with Federation, ASA, College and LL books but they only come out before or after a game. I believe that between my partner and myself we should be able to come up with the correct ruling on every situation. If we can't I can assure you we will come up with a ruling. If it's tournament play there's a UIC to rescue us.
In my pregame, I tell the coaches that they CAN question a rule interpretation. If they do, call time and wait for it to be granted and to have the rule book open to the rule in question. My rulebook?? It's still in the trunk!
