    I do not. All HS tests here are on-line with no paper or print option

    Good morning:
    I work high school games in Rhode Island and our group, although a member organization within NFHS, does not participate in NFHS' exam system. They write and administer their own exam.
    I would still like to review the NFHS exam for my own benefit. If you have a printed copy, or one printed or scraped off the computer that you could send along I'd appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Paul Dion (Ump1867)

    Glad to hear that. It is unfortunate that in my area it IS a huge consideration by some and often those folks only concern is the number of assignments they can get in a specific time period. Clinics, meetings, schools or uniforms have zero bearing on their efforts.

    Good luck. BTW, slowpitch games only last about an hour

    The shorter game reference was strictly meant in this context: I work football and basketball and am often gone from 3 pm to as late as 1 am on many Friday nights in the fall. Other nights in the fall for subvarsity work are like 4:30 until close to 10 -- and about the same in the winter. I'm backing away from basketball (for now) and picking up softball because I like working outdoors. But I spend enough time away from home that a shorter series of games in the spring is helpful. From what I understand from those in my local softball chapters, the games typically run 1.25-1.5 hours, unlike baseball which are typically 2+ hour games. It isn't a money thing at all, nor is it a HUGE consideration. But I can tell you from football, there seems to be a big difference between an hour and a half game and a 2 hour game. I don't know if the focus just gets tougher or what.

    Umpire errors a real embarrassment

    With one out in the fifth, Jorge Posada was on third base and Robinson Cano was on second. Melky Cabrera hit a bouncer back to the mound. Darren Oliver fielded the ball and tossed it to catcher Mike Napoli, who chased Posada back to third base. Unfortunately for Posada, Cano had already reached third base. Napoli clearly tagged Cano when he was off third base and then tagged Posada, who also was standing off the base.

    McClelland, however, did not see what everyone else in the park and watching on TV saw.

    ..."[The replay] showed that Cano was off the bag when he was tagged. I did not see that for whatever reason. So obviously there were two missed calls. Obviously or not obviously, but there were two missed calls. And I'm just out there trying to do my job and do it the best I can."


    "Shagging"??

    Mike,
    I still show new posts, though they may be hidden in old threads.

    I understand and appreciate it. While in OKC, Steve and I were both approached by umpires who lurk here, thanking us for all the rules discussion. I really wouldn't care if he just went after me, that's nothing. But there are a lot of people, impressionable people, who read this stuff and soak it up. I just don't like his arrogance in this setting.

    Take care.

    What? The Rowe v. wade comment?

    Hey, if I'm gonna ride you guys about something, the least I could do was make a joke to lighten the conversation.
