OBR rewrite?

[Rich]

The OBR rewrite will be a disaster for two reasons.

(1) The umpires will have to relearn where everything is, unless the writers are very careful to take all the sources of authoritative opinion and structure the book the same way as before.

(2) There will be new loopholes created unintentionally. Then, will we use the OLD sources and rulebook as AO?

I don't know why they just don't leave it as it is and incorporate the NAPBL manual and Evans and J/R and all that other stuff as case notes to the existing book.
