Women's College World Series
 

Anyone making it to see any of the games this year? I just got tickets to Thursday's games at Chapel Hill. Can't wait to see some great softball (and great softball officiating)!

I am a little confused by this post. The WCWS is held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. What you will be going to watch will be the Regional tournament.

I am going to the Regional at Norman, OK. Should be some great softball

You are correct.

I do the same thing when baseball season comes around (I call all of the games that lead up to the World Series by that name, when really they are division championships, etc.)

Maybe one day I'll get it all straight.

You call division championships the World Series!?!?!

Well then, I suppose we owe you a pass for calling a regional the WCWS.

Oh I'll be working the Championship of the Planet this weekend... aka Fri & Sat regionals for NFHS and Sun a championship for a rec league tourney. No big deal though, i got like a billion championship of the planet and Intergalactic championships under my belt already.

I didn't say I was right to do so. Just that I always (mistakenly) do it.

Enjoy those Planetary Championships :p

Well, I think we've reached the point where I usually ask how many other countries take part in this alleged "world" series.

It IS the 2008 NCAA Championship playoffs for softball.

And then someone (Tom, is that you?) follow up with how this really isn't a "series" at all. :rolleyes:

Correct, it is a multi-stage double elimination tournament, mostly, with a 3 game series between the two finalists.

But, as the OP says, "World Series" as become a generic term for "diamond sports ball and bat game championship playoff, tournament, series or whatever format to give someone a trophy or ring at the end." :confused:

Hey Wade I'll be down your way working the smallest of the Planet championship games on Saturday........

WHere? Arnaiz or @ Regional?

You working down here on memorial day w/e or do you have your own stuff to do?

They are scrambling for umps for memorial day... it will be like 16-17 games for you. If youre not doing anything I'll shoot you the email of the assignor.

I am thinking on going to the Michigan Regional and the College World Series. An Umpire from my town is working the Series, Linda Hoover.

I am the U3 at Arnaiz for the D7 final on Saturday.

Not sure what's going on up here on Memorial day weekend. i gotta wait till I see what my assignors got going on. The last time i jumped the gun my assignor had lots of work and i was like out of town helping another assignor. Mine was not happy.....

I got field 2 5 pm /7 pm fri.. Arnaiz. waiting on sat info... if not there I'll be at regional on sat.

Let me know about memorial day (pm is fine).. but dont tick your dude off and start a intergalactic umpire war. I know we are looking for like 96 umpires for 10U-18G.. not sure how many we got so far.
