CUSTOM RULEBOOK + WORKBOOK

The Custom Rulebook + Workbook is a TF-affirmed, collective effort to consolidate, simplify, clarify, and streamline information on the rules and guidance for custom projects.

The Custom Rulebook is a comprehensive, consolidated document designed to serve as the statewide source of record for rules and requirements for the development and review of custom measures and projects that use the custom-calculated approach. The Custom Rulebook is organized into chapters and appendices that provide guidance, relevant resources, and “rule tables” that list relevant rules.

The Custom Rulebook Workbook (CRW) is a workbook companion to the Custom Rulebook, containing:

  • Rules Table: A consolidated list of all custom rules in a single table with the information included in the rule tables (see above) plus: rule version, status, short name, type and source information. Stakeholders can use the Rules List as a quick reference and/or to find detailed information and revision history for each rule.

  • Rulebook Revision Log (RRL): A table of proposed, pending, and confirmed rulebook updates, including interim updates that take effect between annual rulebook update cycles.

  • Retirement List: A list of guidance and practice retired with the adoption of the Custom Rulebook

All sources referenced in the Custom Rulebook + Workbook are available in the Custom Reference Library.
