Hey Carl here is one thing that was not mentioned. You said Hecotr was a playoff umpire previously. I am taking it he called the playoffs in the last 2 years. Did he manage to make one of the clinics then to earn said playoff spot(s)? Did he use this same method to get out of it? Or did he have another family member that died some years before? If the answers are yes, no and no then you are 100% right in your arguements, to which I say you are anyways. Would I have resigned? No but you are more old schoool then I.
A good question. In the last two years (when I was in charge) our "clinic" was indoors, during a regular meeting. Those are on Wednesday nights.

The umpires received my call for an actual "clinic" with resigned good humor: "Carl's at it again." Still, we had 117 paid members this year; only 33 (now 34) bothered to certify for the play-offs.
