Guess that wasn't too clear.
I was called and asked if I was available to help out; I didn't call them. I was originally committed to help with the 14B in Marietta, but the team numbers weren't as high as they thought, and I was released. The UIC and coordinator at the 18U decided they needed a few more umpires, and the Atlanta UIC knew I would be available. I live only a 2 hour drive away, and have worked for that UIC before. How many umpires do you know that can make that 8 day commitment with 4 days notice? Yeah, I did see your smiley, Mike, but still wanted to clarify the point.
The 18A UIC is Jerry Fick, the Region 10 NUS from Ohio; his two assistants are Kinard Lathem (Georgia State UIC) and Jim Sneddon (a Georgia Deputy, pretty well known D1 in this area).
The ASA Rep (I believe, but not 100% positive) is Parks Burgin, the JO from Alabama. Jerry and Parks worked together in Columbus 3 years ago at a 14A, and 2 years ago in Marietta, for a 12A, so that should go smoothly.
