You realize Michigan just beat them without them cheating. Bring that on!!!

And bringing a rulebook out is stupid on so many levels. There is a reason that no major sport advocates this practice (heck I cannot think of any sport for that matter but I do not work sports like Lacrosse and Rugby) and why any state would even ask anyone to do that is absurd. And the fact that any onus would be on anyone is even sillier if that is going to be the requirement. All you are doing is opening up for constant debate. It is not always quick to look up something in the rulebook or casebook and a reference often is found in some obscure place. Since they want to be silly, they should require "Rules by Topic" book. At least the rules and the case plays are in the same place.
