Unfortunately, the rule book is such a complicated document that abridging it would be more dangerous than anything else I can possibly imagine on the field shy of giving coaches 10 shots of espresso. Anything that isn't covered in the abridged book will be assumed to be either legal or will be incomplete in such a way that the intent of the rules will be completely misunderstood.
It'd be about as useful as Cliff's Notes would be to someone getting a Master's in Literary Analysis: just enough to be dangerous, more than enough to be embarrassing for the user.
