My first tournament was Hillsboro, OR and my roomie was a 4th year umpire working his third National. How's that work?? He was from Seattle.

The answer to "How's that work?" is highlighted in your post.
The ASA umpire leadership in that area networks quite a bit to try to get every one of their umpires that wants to go to a national to a tournament appropriate to their skill level. These are mostly host exchanges, so the umpire is responsible for all travel expenses to and from the tournament.
