Okay, I'll ask the question.

Carl, can we expect to see a BRD for 2006?

I hope it's soon. I'm owed one
from my "coupon" when I renewed
my subscription to the paid side.

Here is a reply I got from RightSports a few days ago when inquiring about redeeming my "coupon" for the 2006 BRD.........

"Unfortunately right now we, ourselves, are still waiting and trying to convince the author to write 2006 BRD. As of now I have no confirmation on that matter....."

If Carl hasnt penned it by now, doubt we will see one this year?

Strange: I posted a reply earlier (I thought).

The BRD, which this year will contain the integrated officfial interpretations, will be shipping around the middle of February.

It's on sale now.

Thanks for the interest.

Order the 2005. There aren't anymore. So the default will be 2006.

Well, gosh, Bob, you've been hanging around Windy too much, I guess. An "officfial" interpretation is one that only Texans receive before the season starts. I though everyone knew that.

Is that how you really spell integrated?

I meant it as a serious question -- not as a question about the typing skills (heaven knows I've plenty of tyoing and spelling ewrrors in my posts).

What are "integrated official interpretations?" that haven;t been in the book before?

Each year the FED puts out a rulebook and case book. Then (for many years) in March and April they would include "late-breaking" interpretations in their house organ called The Federation News. Nowadays, they post those on the website.

For the last four years (ever since I contracted with Right Sports), I've published the book around the first of February, before the "official interpretations" were available.

This year I decided to wait. Most of the country doesn't start FED baseball until March, and umpires will have plenty of time to get the BRD in advance of their spring games.

That's what I meant: I could integrate the official interpretations into the text, along with rule and case book changes.

BobP: "integrate" is spelled that way. It's not "intergrate."

Thanks. Makes sense.
