I am going to try to actually implement an idea I read on this board, starting an umpire journal of situations that I encounter on the field. I am going to do this not only for myself, but I am going to have the umpires that work in the league I am UIC of also document strange situations they see. I think this will allow us all to learn from each other, and it will be a teaching tool for the younger members. My idea is to have them document the situation they see and what their ruling was, and I will review them and with help of you all when needed, make sure their ruling was correct, and if not document the correct ruling.
Finally to the question....any of you have any advice on questions to ask on a form to make sure that I get all the information needed to be able to put myself in their shoes to make a correct decision on the play? We all know there are VERY small details that make a HUGE difference in outcome or the correct call on the field. I will try to improve these forms as the year goes on, just looking to see if you all have any advice to get me as good as possible starting out!
Thanks,
Dave
