downloadable rule book

[outathm]

Where can I find a rule book that I can download onto a CD to use the search when I have my computer.

I have the hard copy the I received from my local assoc. but would like to download the book onto the disk also.

Thanks

How about my book? Or maybe yours. We could try Glen's book, or maybe even Andy's.

OK, wisea$$, which sanctioning organization's book... some are available for download (NCAA, AFA, PONY, {laughing}USFA{/laughing}). Some are not, at least not legally (ASA, NFHS).

I am actually looking for the NFHS Book. But according to Irishmafia's posting it doesn't look like that is possible.

If you are a registered NFHS umpire, coach or administrator you can register at their website and have access to an on-line version of both their rule and case book. It's just not available to the general public.

The on-line version is searchable, but you can't download the whole thing to your computer.

(It's also not current, as the one there now is the 2007 version. I guess that's a notch better than the baseball version- it is still the 2006 book! Kudos for the effort of putting these on-line. But it would be nice if they kept them up-to-date.)

That may vary with the state. I believe to have on-line access (that is, to be able to register with the NFHS for on-line access) you actually need to be a member of the NFHS Officials Association, not just a registered NFHS umpire. If your state provides membership in the NFHS Officials Association as part of your registration, then you're in. Otherwise, you need to independently join.

And that means that everyone from the state of Texas have to independently join.

I am NFHS through my association... I dont have access to squat the last time I checked..
Unless there is something I'm missing as to how to get that.. I figured they might want money so never looked into it.

I'm NFHS through my association also and have not been able to obtain any content from the members only area. I get the following error message even though I'm logged in and my association and NFHS dues are paid:

Member Only Content
If you cannot view the Online Rules and Case Books, you are either not logged in or are not a paid member of the NFHS.

It's been so long since I registered on that site that I didn't even consider that. If that is the case, then our state must provide membership to the Officials Association along with our annual fees, because I don't remember paying anything extra.

And that I would remember!

But I do recall having to register through the web site before it would allow me to log-in. I would suggest going through the site registration process and seeing what happens. There is a "Sign-Up" link near the upper right side of their home page.

You will need an ID number that can be found on the Officials Quarterly magazine mailing label. My guess is that if you don't get the magazine, you are probably not a member of the Officials Association.

pdf rule book and ms word case book obtained from NUS.. sweeeet...

[Dakota]

NFHS has placed a pdf file of the rule book and the case book in the members area of their web site. If you are a member of the NFHS Officials Association (the national org, not just your state assoc.), you can view and/or download the files. They are searchable and copy/paste-able. Nice.
