How do you get to work varsity if you have never read or studied the rulebooks? I would think that would be apart of your association or state license. Never heard that or remember hearing that. Maybe you need to join a local official's association because a lot of these things should be covered in meetings and trainings I would think.

I recommended 4 books for you already. I guess you could get a Handbook. This usually gives a more in-depth description of certain rules and the history of why a rule was changed or how it should be called.

I said if "You aren't doing varsity games you don't need to be registered" I thought you recommended to me 2 books?

Three books.

And I would recommend the Rules by Topic book as the information puts the Rules and Casebook plays together. Good resource.

One book. That would be four together.

Here is why that is hard to understand. Why would someone give you varsity if you have never been trained in that sport? And that would be very unusual across the country as you have to be registered, licensed or have some association with some organization to just work any high school level game. And we have had people here over the years from Kansas, never heard that one before.

Can someone from Kansas shed some light on this?
