NF Rules Test Part 1

[Jerry Baldwin]

I apologize for starting this mess. It was my intention to help officials as they took Part 1, not to post answers wholesale to fill in an answer sheet. I had hoped that as officials took the test and came across a question that they were unsure of the answer. They would post the question, a discussion would follow, a consensus, then I would post the correct answer and rule reference. In Arkansas we are required to take Part 1, open book. I have scheduled a local rules meeting for 10/22 and invited a number of officials to come fellowship and take the test. Each person reads a question, gives their answer, discussion, ageement and I give the correct answer if they have it wrong. I checked with Brad about giving out answers to the test, but not in a wholesale fasion that earlier was posted, but has been removed and we thought it would be a good idea. I never thought the discussion would go to arguing about the value of the test or the value of studying the rule book. I assumed all good officals did that. Foolish me. Again, I apologize for starting this thread, my intentions were good but perhaps bad timing. Sooo Sorry.
