If you join US Sailing they will send you a rule book as part of your paid membership.

If you don't want to spend the $60, look here, it's the 157 page PDF:

http://www.sailing.org/tools/documents/RRS2009-2012-%5B5950%5D.pdf

Open that pdf and scroll down to about page 16, rule 18.3 and 18.4, can one of you judges explain that, when two boats are coming into a gate on opposite gybes, who has right of way?(it mentions rule 18.4 doesn't apply at a gate)

Thanks.
