New NCAA Umpire Improvement Program Manual

So...the new format for the NCAA UIP Manual will be "book bound" soft cover that we all will have to purchase, presumably year after year. How many of you prefer this concept to the old style, download and add the pages to your binder concept?

Scott,

I have seen a copy of the manual from another sport. Ours will be very similar. You will like the new format. I know you would rather download the updates, but this new manual will be worth the small expense.

I understand that there was feedback from a lot of umpires around the country that they wanted a soft-cover, bound version of the manual that would be easy to carry in the equipment bag. Similar to the rulebook.

I believe the UIP is patterning this new manual after the NCAA Baseball Umpire manual. I'm willing to give it a shot.....

Best solution...offer the book bound version, but still provide the updates as they do now for those that have already created their own notebook (as I did)

Not Happening. The bound manual is the way we will get it now. Here is the full link:

Larry. Have you received one yet? Is it essentially the same information as the old version?

Scott,

I ordered it yesterday. Don't expect it until next week. They are having the coordinators meeting this weekend. Any changes should be announced there. The only one I am aware of now and Emily has already announced it is the fly ball coverage discussed here earlier when the 3B umpire is at 3B, he will now always have from center fielder to left field fence rather than the 1B ump taking from LF to RF when in the B position, now the 3B will take from CF to fence and 1B ump will take from CF to RF. If any further changes are coming out, we should know by Monday.
