2008 ASA Umpire Exam

The exam is now posted on ASA's website here.

Caution: it's 16.5 MB...
It's fixed now - a decent file size - thanks to the Metro Bothell, WA UIC.

WOW 200 copies? Does someone think you need that much brushing up on the rules that you have to take the test 200 times? I think I would try to appeal that if I were you....

You can't appeal a judgment call.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

The exam is 640 KB. Are you perhaps thinking of the rule book?

Nope. Every time I've opened the PDF file from the ASA site, there is a download of 16.5 MB.

Is it possible that in their infinite wisdom, ASA has chosen to include a version of Adobe Acrobat with it to insure the user can open it?

Thanks to the kindness of a soul in Metro Bothell, WA, the test is now 640K. It could be that you just need to refresh the page on your browser if you are still getting the 16.5MB version.

Actually, I'm a little disappointed they do not have an on-line version set up yet.

And your efforts to help are widely appreciated (even if SRW would suggest otherwise).
