In a few months I'll be giving out over 1,000 world series assignments for a national world series tournament. I'd be very interested in hearing from many of you indicating the reasons why you feel you were selected for the highest level game of you career. What assignment did you get ... and why?

Most of you, no doubt, have heard the expression that "perception is not always equal to reality." The reality part is that these assignments must be made with good guidance and judgement. The perception element is that we all have a higher opinion of our own game than does anyone else, including assignors.

Please share your personal experiences with me as to why you think 'you' were selected over others for the best assignments you've ever received. Why did the assignor select you?

I'm hopeful that what you tell me is in line with the rationale that I plan on using come this July. What did you like/dislike about the process you faced during the selection? What preparation took place? What do you feel was missing? What would you have done differently?

Do you know the way to San Jose?

Thanks for your anticipated participation.
