Transfer, Rules et all.

[Norf Tyrone]

Does anyone know where I can access all the rules and regluations regarding the game?
I am not interested in things like foul infringements, scoring rules etc.

I am more interested in the finer details re who, when and where a transfer can happen. The protocal regarding appeals etc etc.
