Don,

I'm not disagreeing with you. But are these same umpires true to ASA when there IS a tournament in the area? That can make all the difference with some folks.

Mike,

ASA always comes first with my group. If there is no ASA assignment, then we should be able to call for other organizations. We're lucky around here for the most part. It's unusual NOT to have an ASA tournament that doesn't need coverage. But on those open weekends, local officials go to the "other" tournaments to see who is umpiring. These are the same officials that submit umpires for the ASA big time tourneys.

BTW, I was looking forward to meeting Mr. Profato (sp?) last week at advanced school. He was listed as an instructor, but he didn't make it to Killeen. You had spoken so highly of him, I was hoping to get to work with him. I did get to work with Billy P.& Bob S. Bob is a real character.
