Pete,
I will gladly discuss this away from the board with both you and Windy. All you'll need to do is accept e-mails from this forum. Others who have not wanted to join in the fray have contacted me away from the board. Why don't you do the same. Just click on my mail button at the end of this post.
I've never said that you're wrong for working solo, or that umpires that work solo are sub par. I guess I'm just lucky that my association had the jewels to insist that our schools pay for two man crews. If you feel that you can do a better job by yourself in a game, then more power to you. Let me point out to you that my comments regarded rookie umpires working solo. Unless you're a rookie, or an assignor who assigns rookies to work solo, the comment shouldn't bother you. The first thing you said in the first post you made in this thread was that you don't assign many solo games in your association. That implies that your association assigns at least a two man whenever possible, because it's the best thing to do. So, solo games would be a last resort. Maybe it's you who needs to go back and read what you posted previously.
Let me retract my apology to you, as it seems you're not being objective enough to know that working solo as opposed to working a two man is not the best thing to do.
Tim.
