FED Rules Online

[MajorDave]

I went to the NFHS website and tried to log in. It asked me my name and e-mail address. It had a record for me at my address but no e-mail associated with my account. I gave my e-mail address and my NFHS number from the address area of my most recent Official's Quarterly Magazine (the numbers directly above your name-mine is 7 digits long) and I then got an e-mail with log in instructions including my log in ID and a password-both assigned from NFHS. I went to the members only online publications link and they have a list of publications available for members. Unfortunately they have 2006 Baseball not 2007 rules. There are full text links by rule number in both casebook and rule book. There is a search feature but it did not work very well, in my opinion. I tried generic terms like pitcher and balk. Lots of hits. I tried "pitcher goes to mouth", "illegal substance", "substance on ball" and got a nothing found for each. The casebook gives the cases reported for each rule in rule number order and it links you to the rule book for the actual rule referred to in the case. Not great but okay. In case anyone who had not used it before wanted to know. This thread made me aware of this feature of NFHS membership. Thanks for the heads up.
