The NCAA material was put together by the same woman who put the stuff together on the Cactus umpire site - she knows her stuff. While the exercise uses different names, the method is the same.
And, I think one of our board regulars - Andy - is in her high school and ASA chapter.
I started using this method last fall and am going to continue with it. Here's why I'm going to use this method - I suspect it will be easier for someone else to handle in the event a game I am doing is suspended and restarted another day with someone else umpiring.

Emily is the training director for Arizona HS softball and the Metro Phoenix ASA umpires. The PP presentation she has developed is as good as any system around. She is a tremendous resource for FP softball umpiring. There are a number of good article on the cactus umpires website about game management and philosophies of umpiring. If you ever get a chance to attend a clinic or ASA national school that Emily is a part of, I highly recommend that you take advantage of it. We here in Metro Phoenix are extremely blessed to have access to her as a resource on a routine basis. The best part is to be able to work with her on the field. I have learned something new each time.
