Wow, to use a term of my youth, what a cop out!

Sure, ASA is going to send someone to every local association just to retest umpires of which most do in an open-book/discussion group manner. Yeah, ASA has all sort of people sitting around in OKC for such an event.

If the UIC were in OKC for the Clinic, s/he would have heard Kevin Ryan tell us to throw all the test away and not use them.

ASA has done a "reprint", but will send them to the state/metro associations which ask for them. ASA will not automatically send tests to everyone.

Many have just taken the test from the web site, so I guess ASA is hoping to save some shipping expense for those areas not needing the new tests.
