This is of necessity the largest section in the Handbook with every detail, and every query that could possibly arise, being covered.   I have twice been asked by a Field Events referee if I had a Handbook in my bag that he could consult because something had arisen on the day that needed an immediate answer.   The section will be divided into several parts simply because of its size.   This page includes the index and also deals with General Rules and Conditions and Handicapping.
