As for myself, I do what my district UIC wants done, which is in line with what the state UIC wants. My state UIC also happens to be one of the top umpires in my region, teaches at the regional umpire camp, and observes the umpires at our Regional. I find it highly unlikely he would say, "It's okay; don't throw the flag if you don't want to." I don't like carrying one because I don't like extra stuff in my pockets, but I do it. And sometimes, like last week, I actually use it.

They run the ump clinics in Bristal,CT. Which is the east regional office. I have been to the two day clinic not the five day. The two of them do a great job with the clinics there was approx. 100 people at the winter two day clinic.
