			Chester,  
If I may I add to my original thoughts... 
  
There are so many web sites that are involved with fastpitch softball in one form or another, that it would be a major challenge to present a new web site that offered something that wasn't already available. 
  
The name "fastpitch.org" implies much more than umpiring. It would need to incorporate many more aspects of the game, including: 
  
General Fastpitch Discussion 
Infield/Outfield 
Pitching 
Behind the Plate 
Hitting 
Coaches Corner 
Umpires Corner (which would equate to this entire web site, plus the others) 
NCAA Forum 
NHFS Forum 
ASA Forum 
Other Associations Forum 
Tournament Information 
Team Web Sites 
Team Announcements/Recruiting 
Training Aids, Videos 
Softball Links 
Instructors Registry 
Equipment/Uniform Manufacturers/Outlets 
  
Now, if you have the inclination to put all of THAT together, you would truly have a unique web site that would justify the name "fastpitch.org". One of the most sorely missed web sites out there was the "original" Fast Pitch Forum, which Mike remembers. There has never been anything like it, and perhaps one day there will.
