Last night I was invited to do Mens C FP in Marietta GA in 8/30 and 16U A in Seattle, WA 7/30 and I am friggin stoked!!! My first national invite whoo hoo .. anyway I'm not sure I can do them, I'll try to arrange with employed - but anyone else going?

I am pumped.. I didnt think I'd ever get asked. Surely some credit owed to those on this board who've helped me so thanks all!
Yeee haa!

Not sure if I will be calling in the Men's C FP in Marietta, but, if not, I will be around. May even be sucked into be the umpire coordinator (have been in the past).

I look forward to meeting you, and any others who call in that tournament. I had the pleasure to meet a few regulars (and some not so regular) two weeks ago at the Leadoff Classic.

Georgia is the one I really want to go to.. ive never been to GA, wife wants to, go and I like calling Mens FP as my favorite (I'm a glutton for punishment). I am going to try to get it arranged today.

That is the toughest job at a national tournament and can make or break a tournament for a UIC.

Wade, if you can make it to Seattle, we promise that if nothing else it won't be as hot and humid as Marietta. I will be one of the TD's, and we would love to have you here.

Congratulations!! Had the grand pleasure of going to Marietta in '04 (Girls 18-U Gold). Had a great time there (except for the speeding ticket I got). Tournament staff treated us great! And the food was awesome, especially when I asked for Mexican food (jokingly) and they actually prepared it on one of the nights we were there.

Have fun!
