Canada v. USA

[NDblue]

Just because she's going to the Olympics doesn't mean that I have to like her positioning. I felt she was way to far inside on those left-handed batters with a lousy view of the outside corner of the plate. I personally couldn't see how she could see it from her angle.

That's probably why you're in ND and she isn't.

Which catcher? If you are talking about Nuevy, you would be a bit inside too, because you are not going to go up when she sets up inside.

A number of reasons from it is an ASA-sponsored event to ISF is very tight with their uniforms. A hat is one thing, but they are not going to give an umpire a shirt for a single-game event.

Most ISF-licened umpires do have 1 or 2 shirts from ISF. I still don't think the game wasn't organized by the ISF. They've played by it's rules. Which is logic, because in China they will also.

Just got back from my practice game Dutch Olympic team vs a dutch AllStar team. We also played by the ISF-rules, but the Dutch federation was the organizer. We've used out dutch uniform. (I'm not even ISF-licened, just got ESF-licened last year...)
