There have sometimes been subtle differences in mechanics, positioning during timeouts for example.

Mechanics aren't rules, Rick. IAABO uses the complete NFHS ruleset, not vice/versa. That was Tony's point, I believe.

I understand that mechanics and rules are different. I was trying to agree that IAABO uses NFHS rules but point out that there may be other differences. I teach the rules class for aspiring officials for my small IAABO local board in southwestern New Hampshire. I feel a little underqualified, but I take it seriously and (most important) I am willing to do it.
I understand that what I wrote might have been misleading. I should have written more clearly.
The IAABO "Handbook" includes the Federation's rules and casebook, but it has an IAABO mechanics manual.
Perhaps somebody more familiar than I with the structure of IAABO should take a shot at describing what it is. I know that I belong to a local board that is part of a state board which is part of a national organization. We get our rulebooks (handbooks) from IAABO.
