As always, things may well be different where you are, but where I am, and where I've been, pulling a rule book out for reference during a ball game ( which does not include the halftime break) would be an absolute kiss of death.
Perhaps that's why you don't hear a lot about surgeons pulling our instruction manuals in the operating room with the patient on the table.
