Just looked...

It appears you can probably count on baseball and all sports being online this year.

I have an UPDATE!!!!

Your local official's association can still have a rules meeting if they request one through Kurt Gibson.

I do not know if anyone realizes this, but we will get Rulebooks this year from the IHSA and the packets were mailed out yesterday. I expect people to start getting the stuff this weekend and through the next couple of weeks.

Peace

I guess I cannot read. Yes, basketball will get rulebooks this year and next year we take a year off.

BTW, there is some talk that the NF might go to a bi-yearly rule change process. It does seem that people in the NF think they change rules just to change rules.

Peace

Honestly TJ, I receive the books around this time of the month of September the last few years. I am almost certain I have received the packet before my birthday which is a few days away.

Peace

Rut......

I heard a rumor that advancement testing will be done online also. Have you heard anything? I'm going for C

You mean the Part 2 Exam? If that is what you are talking about, then that is not a rumor that is a fact.

Peace

Do not get so excited. You do not have hours to take the test. Once you start the test you have a 2 hour limit. You can take a break and come back to the test, about 5 days to completely finish the test. Also the questions are scrabbled. Your #1 question might be someone's #53.

I am excited. Wow, five days to complete? Law boards aren't that lenient. I just appreciate not having to drive somewhere to take it.
