Just as a follow-up, my Tennessee State tournament went great! (Other than a HUGE bruise on my right forearm, LOL)
7 games in 4 days all ending up with finals being held at the Middle Tennessee State University baseball stadium. I saw some really good baseball and met some really good umpires from around the state.
I did make my first ever dead ball, third strike call on a HBP. It was really kind of a weird play. Batter has a 1-2 count, catcher sets up on inside corner, pitcher busts him right on the corner and the batter leans back and literally throws his back leg into the strike zone. I think he was fooled and knew it was a strike.
Anyway, it went great and I hope to get the call again next year.
