Buy them both. You will not regret it. If you are serious about your umpiring then get Jaksa/Roder and BRD. If you think you need the more intensive course or if you are having particular trouble with the rules of baseball get the Jaksa/Roder rules course. I found BRD (I have had 3 so far) and Jaksa/Roder along with the rule books for NCAA, FED and OBR sufficient study for me (along with an average of 230 games per year over the past 4 years) to accurately and effectively apply the rules in the games I work.


By the way, the differing fonts in BRD are to show where the authority comes from for the advice/ruling contained in each section along with the differing levels of rules compared in that tome.
