How do IHSA officials keep track of the current set of approved mechanics? For example, for a new official is there a written reference? If so, I'd like to take a look.

It is online. They have access to the information on their personal web pages as does every other licensed official. The same stuff the clinicians have access to teach. But like I have said before everything is not in a book. Many officials do all kinds of things that were never stated in the book in the first place. So young officials do what they always do, listen to those that are teaching and have been around the block.

For the girls, NY uses NCAA rules (with modifications) and its own 2-person version of NCAA mechanics. See

For the boys, I believe that NY uses NF rules and mechanics, but I'm not 100% sure.
