SPORTS EXPLAINER & OFFICIATING GUIDE · SERIES PREVIEW

The Rulebook

Officials and demonstrators explain one competition at a time: its objective, roles, legal play, and the decisions that matter to spectators.

PRESENTED BY DGCN OFFICIATING WORKSHOP INSTRUCTIONAL SERIES 28 MIN · DGCN

The Rulebook vertical key-art poster — **KEY ART · DGCN**KNOW THE RULES. APPRECIATE THE CONTEST.

Enjoy the contest with a clearer view of what is happening. Each episode takes one DGCN competition and works through its objective, participant roles, field of play, and the decisions spectators need to understand.

Officials and demonstrators use worked examples to explain the difference between an effective tactic and an infringement. From the opening setup to a disputed call, The Rulebook makes room for the questions a results desk cannot stop to answer.

Detailed broadcast previews forthcoming.
