Technical Bulletins

Technical Bulletins are whole-of-sport documents that contain information relating to Rules and Interpretations of the current playing rules as written which is a valuable information source for umpires, coaches and players. Any changes from ISF Rules Commission Congress are reviewed and Technical Bulletins are created for umpires, coaches, administrators and players to remain current with International Rules interpretations.
