Well, I've been told that here in NC, it's required that umpires who wish to call a State, Regional or National tourney must go to an ASA state clinic.

Do these state clinics cover everything? Do they make you a proper umpire? Do they teach you everything you need to know? Not at all.

Do they help? Do they keep umpires reasonably informed? I believe so.

I think the requirement around here begins the process of separating the wheat from the chaff. I have a suspicion that those who went to the ASA state clinics and the ASA NUS will have a greater frequency of being called up to do ASA tourneys.

Not sure how it's done in other locales, but that's just how we do it here.

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.
