Just found THIS forum...:) Any other NYSSO people here? If so, what did think of this year's test? Either we are really well prepared, or they really dumbed it down this year [70 T/F's???].Still have a lot of problems with some of Mr Miner's interps/mechanics..oh well....

I'm not an NYSSO umpire. I live in Virginia, but I thought I give you a <br><b><font size=6><font color=red>HEARTY</font><font color=blue> HI </font><font color=yellow>HO,</font><font color=green> WELCOME</font></font></b><br> to the board and hope you'll become a regular contributor.

Not in NY, but in north central Pa here. I'll second Sam's welcome.

Im from upstate NY, Binghamton area.. I have to agree with you on the test thing.. first game is supposed to be monday.. Can't wait!~

Ben,

Did they move Binghamton to the other end of I-81, or is there one other than just north of the NY/PA border?

Mike

Binghamton
 

Mike

Im just north of the PA border.. about 2 hrs south of syracuse.. i dont actually live in binghamton.. im about 15 minutes from there.. part of the endicott umpire association.. i mention binghamton because that is the closest place anybody has heard of..

as expected my game today was cancelled yesterday.. who knows when my first one will be :(
Ben

Hello
 

Hello, from Indiana...From what I'm reading we may be cold but the only dry place playing any games and even close to being on schedule....Knock on wood.

Ben,

I was referring to the "upstate" New York notation. I really wouldn't consider anything below I-90 as upstate :-)

Mike

upstate
 

Well we consider it upstate NY.. just because.. my parents were from Long Island.. so in reference to there.. it is upstate..

Yeah, that's what I was figuring, after all, any part of the state not in the NYC metropolis is "upstate".

However, when you drive to Massena, NY from Delaware every other weekend for a year and some, Binghamton just doesn't seem that far away :-)

Mike

not sure where massena, ny is.. doesnt sound like a fun drive though

Just follow I-81 north to Alexandria (?) and turn right on NY 37 and follow the St Lawrence to where NY, Ontario & Quebec meet and you just passed through Massena, NY

It all sounds like a walk in the park. Try driving from
Beaumont, Tx. to El Paso, Tx. Now thats a drive.
