This is interesting... Gary Haning Joined: Sun Aug 09, 2009 3:38 pm Posts: 24 Re: Information about Premier Fastpitch Girls Softball Wade, I will not argue with you further about the tournament. If you are going to make outlandish statements about the officials, your brethren, maybe you should look before you leap. At this moment there are 24 men and woman committed to officiate our tournament. All 24 have NCAA DI post-season experience and they are from 11 states. I specifically stated a couple days ago that umpires are very important. Now of course you will say these umpires will not come as with teams. I am hardly a Messiah, we have no interest nor intent to be the NGB for softball, you can rant and rave and obscure the real discussion by insulting me or the others who are working to make this a success but that probably won't get you your spot at Gold Nationals that you covet and it is just your opinion.

Will you ever have anything useful to offer again?? After all...it's only your reputation and credibility!! I have heard only 5-6 SoCal Umps out of 32 overall. They are NATIONAL....and QUALITY!!

I just found it interesting that a fellow "brethern" would cast such disparaging remarks on a fellow group of officials...especially a group reportedly this qualified...but that is just me...an (one) opinion!!

Sweet mother of God...
Wade is a braying jackass.... but listen to him......he may actually be right and Im smelling troll.... Mr. Troll..There is no "reportedly" to it..if you last long enough, you will know who some of these people are. Looks like you fell into your own trap about disparaging comments....

Really? Every since I saw forest gump shake hands with JFK, I just dont take everything I see at face value. I'm like Minnesota.... er.. Missouri. ![]() I do find it humerous that you AND gary think calling so cal umps so cal umps is degrading. I guess you belive that he is out running around getting umps assigned 11 months before the event. Thats what he is doing? Flying them in from 11 states. You know, an umpire couldnt even list this thing on their resume, it means nothing. No one is jumping to do this. Its just a tourney. Missouri.

You show me an umpire who is not competitive with his resume I'll show you an umpire who sucks.. Competition makes for excellence. IMO...

I must suck then. Where you've been and what you've done are not as important as why you were chosen to be there to do it. An umpire's resume' alone tells me little about his/her ability to call ball. The proof is between the lines and their resume' and their game doesn't always match up.

Because you dont make any money. You wouldnt put out the EXTRA effort required to be seen, the money to go to the extra clinics, you wouldnt try to meet the requirements to be selected to begin with. All you would do is the minimum and cash your check. You care about building your resume and what you do to meet criteria if you are one who goes.. or you wouldnt even be there - because you wouldnt qualify.

I'm not going to presume to know anything about Gary and the inner workings of his organization. I do, however, know that he has one umpire in SoCal that schedules all of the umpires for the Surf City showcases and tournaments. It is not any of the people referred to by initals earlier.
My assumption is that this person would be doing most, if not all, of the scheduling for the Premier. I'm with Wade...if I'm not working a national at that time, I wouldn't mind working this tournament.

There are many other reasons than just not caring about his craft or looking only for money why an umpire does not pursue building a resume.
