IAABO Handbook

[Scrapper1]

Ever since I've been officiating, IAABO has given its members a rulebook and casebook each year. But their agreement with NFHS expired, and for whatever reason (probably $$$$ that they didn't want to pay to the FED), IAABO no longer has permission to distribute the books to its members.

Instead, this year, we're receiving the IAABO Handbook, which includes a detailed "textbook" about the rules and intersperses play situations throughout to illustrate the rule being discussed. (As in years past, it also includes the officials' manual.) They did a pretty good job on it, actually; but for rule nerds like me, it means I have to go and buy a rulebook for the first time in 30 years.

I think the new officials will like it, but it means I have to re-organize my class notes.
