I run an athletic department- not a rules clinic. I trust that the contest officials will be the experts on matters of rules, and if I have a question, they will be able to answer it or send me to a person who knows the answer.
I was not meaning knowing every single rule/regulation. I was meaning those that pertain to the operations of the game (timer, scorer, materials needed, etc.) & any changes made in those rules/regulations that could affect that which I mentioned before.
