Thought you guys might enjoy my light reading for the plane ride down to Cali.

Get the 2016 rules. There have been changes since 2013.

@Stk004 - did you know that MLB provides the OBR in a .pdf on their website?  you can put it on a tablet or print it for future reference.

Yeah but I figured it'd be nice to have a hard copy. They really aren't that expensive.

Don't forget the NFHS Umpire's Manual.  Buried in it are some rules/procedures that you can actually use.  I know that many (probably "most") of us don't use the manual for the 2, 3 and/or 4 man mechanics (I think it is safe to say that most of the people on this board use the CCA manual).  However, there are nuggets buried in the NFHS umpires' manual (on the pages before the 2-man diagrams) that we should not overlook and which could actually help us in our FED games.  Let's just say a protest that was filed in a post-season high school game in a state that shall go nameless, was upheld when the umpire and umpire's association cited to the NFHS umpire's manual to support the umpire's decision.  (The language in the manual was directly on-point.)

I would especially pay attention when the 2017-18 edition comes out.  Just sayin'

You mean the umpire's decision was upheld, not the protest, correct?

Expounds on a few rules and situations. It's not as exhaustive as Wendelstedt, but I learned a lot from it.
