Rules training and education

I am trying to get a feel for what you do as individual umpires and what you do as associations to train rules and maintain rules proficiency.

Here are what I understand to be the basic references:

1. The Rule Books themselves (OBR, NFHS, NCAA, etc.)
2. Baseball Rules Differences (I've seen a few versions, but the one most often cited is Carl Childress')
3. Jaska/Roder

I have also seen a copy of Jim Evans' Baseball Rules Annotated, and it seems to be really, really well done. It also seems to be unavailable commercially.

So studying those things would be a start. What else do you do as individuals?

I am also trying to develop, for my association, a formal instruction program on the rules. Do other associations do this? If so, what do you do?

Thanks in advance.

Strikes and outs!
