Is it just me...

I am trying to renew dues for access to NFHS - it says no dues owed at this time... I sign in and try to get publication access to rule books... it says restricted to members only... I call the headquarters and get no where... what am I missing?

Is the NFHS an area that high school officials use anymore for education and training?

Help please.

Are you trying to sign in to the ArbiterSports site or the old NFHS.org site?

http://nfhs.arbitersports.com is where you should be going now for NFHS Officials Association information.

I wouldn't allow me to renew either (same message). In order to access and download the *.pdf publications, I had to create a new account and purchase a brand new web only membership using the new account.

I'm having the same challenges listed above and was looking for a .pdf in another thread. How much was the web membership? Seems kinda ridiculous that we have to go to these lengths to get our hands on a rule book.

$25. It gives you access to all books for all sports.

Note that the format of the PDF files is poor.

The PDF files were generated with the wrong "page size" option set in Acrobat. The "page" in the PDF is an 8.5x11 while the page being represented is the rulebook sized page. You have huge white borders around the real page.

I did just find an option on Acrobat reader to make it a little better but not completely.

This is particularly annoying when viewing them on a smartphone. I copied them there so I have all the books (NFHS rules, cases, mechanics and NCAA rules and cases) in a very small form that is far smaller than 5 books.
