As an umpire who has just completed his rookie season, I have a question for some of the veteran umpires. Not that I'm looking for this to happen right away, but I was looking for some tips on accumulating votes for the state tournament. I'm not sure how other states select thier sectional/district/regional/state tournament umpires, but here in Ohio, votes are submitted throughout the year by varsity head coaches with their recomendations for tournament umpires. I've worked with one guy who gave each coach a business card before the game so they knew his name. Is this appropriate? Throughout my first season, I felt like I accomplished quite a bit by being seen at the Junior High and Junior Varsity level and then being asked to do a few Varsity games and even a Legion DH. But the situation I've run into is that the coaches don't remember my name. Does anyone have tips for a youngster?
