The Simplified and Illustrated Rulebooks are as official as it gets. I buy these books in football and basketball every year. This year's football book is Referee/NASO all over it. I also have book "Rules by Topic" for football and they will create for basketball and baseball this year as well. These are also NF books published by Referee.

JR is right that in the past Referee was giving rulings and information that my or may not have been official. Those days are over. Actually those days have been over for a few years now because this relationship did not just start this year. You have to separate a case play that is made up where all the levels interpretations are given as compared to a word on mechanics when Referee is creating the books for the CCA and the NF with some content.
