2009 ASA Biennial UIC Clinic

[IRISHMAFIA]

Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA)

For the ASA umpires interested. I know at least a few of us will be in attendance and we will get together at some point to share the beverage of your choice.

If you have never been, you will enjoy this. You may also want to check to see if your local UIC will accept this for any required clinics you are required to attend at home.

You must register with the hotel and clinic separately. If you act now, you can get the offered rate at the hotel's web site Oklahoma City Hotels ? Pet Friendly Hotels in Oklahoma City ? Biltmore Hotel OKC assuming they do not block out a certain number of rooms at some point. The room rate is the same for two as it is for three, so a room mate can defer some of your costs.

Your ASA commissioner must endorse your application, so you cannot register directly with the ASA office.

Hope to see quite a few of you out there!

Just remember, Darrell. Anything to which you add fruit is not a beer.

Any bets on which region goes to bed first on Saturday and which one will be closing down the bar?

It has everything to do with flight times on Sunday, not just the 3 hours internal clock advantage you hold. Regardless, I plan to be there for quite a while, as I have in the past.

Yeah, you get to go to bed early because we will finish all the beer.

Can't wait to see you do your leaping safe call on the dance floor at Chisolm's. Some of them thar cowboys might really be impressed with it

Yup. Referring to the phrase "beer education."

Just received info about this clinic. As of this past week, including staff and guests, there are 285 umpires registered for this clinic.

Damn, we are going to have a good time.

Will be well represented at the Clinic. Unfortunately, we have to return early Sunday for a Mechanics Clinic...that sucks.

Roll call.

Who will be in OKC this weekend and when do you expect to arrive?

Come on, even you lurkers out there are invited. If you don't want to post, send me a PM just so we can see how many officiating.com folks will be in the house.

Once we get a grip on when most folks will be in town, we can set up some place to meet.

It is always nice to put a face with the name. This is a friendly, argument-free meet. Everyone is welcome, even you, Chuck

[AtlUmpSteve]

I will be there; flying stand-by, so I have no idea when I will actually arrive. I will head to the Atlanta airport early, and take the first available seat.
