Partner peeves

[Gulf Coast Blue]

Don........like Sam........I signal IF ON.........IF OFF.......I like for my partner to respond to the # of outs.............

There are a few partners that I work with that we remind each other of Time Play situations........but that is not a common practice in ASA around here..........and 90% of the umpires do not practice it.........I prefer NOT to communicate time play coverage...........hoping that my partner knows the situation......

As BU.........I always signal back coverages from PU.......

For the last couple of years.......I have mostly worked older age groups........but have many of my games with rookie partners to help them in their training...........

I always try and work with them on communicating with their partners.........and reminding them that it can help them to remember their responsibilies.......
