I am amazed how much running the base umpire does in a slow pitch game! I'm slightly sore from not anticipating that.
I was honored enough to be assigned 1B in the final game. I had a call at every base, including the plate. Had 3 rotations to the plate - one with a safe call. Took the BR to 3B on a fly to LF and had a safe call there. Frequent double play balls, and very quick-paced game. The game ended with a run rule in the 6th.
Overall a great tourney. Glad I was a part of it!

Whoa, hang on here, Bubba! Are you telling me you busted your slowpitch cherry in a national tournament?
