ASA Nats..........
 

Going to 12 "A" for first nationals in Montgomery, AL....about an hour drive. Pretty pumped!

Where's everyone else going?

16B Prescott AZ

Sitting it out this year. Last couple of years, the Nats my UIC had slots for fell on Labor Day weekend, which also happens to be my wife's birthday. She was good about letting me go so I could become NIF-qualified, but this year, I promise that it's all about her. :)

Best of luck to all those going to Nats this year!

Ever worked at Lagoon Park? It is a nice one. Has the UIC been selected for that one yet?

18 GOLD - San Diego, CA

Congrats, big guy.

Wow... That deserves a standing ovation! :)

Way to go, Andy!

Thanks, Steve...

I was shocked to get the assignment....now I can't wait to get there!

C'mon, Steve. You didn't anticipate this? :rolleyes: Where do you think he was when he wasn't in Chisholm's ? :D

Good job. Now, just don't do anything stupid? ;)

Boy, with friends like you.....

What with the question mark? Did you have a specific list of stupid things? :D

Brutal
 

I heard the 18U Gold is very hard for umpires. The UICs are looking for anything to critique you on. Don't know first hand, just from a friend who went last year.

Good luck to ya, hope you don't get beat up too bad.

18B's Prescott Az. Andy deserves the 18 gold and he will do just fine. Worked with him tonight high school 5A quarter finals. The guy is smooth even had time to give me a couple of tips between innings. ;)

Congrats Andy!!!
I will be going to 16u in Mt Pleasant, MI.

Congrats to all! And especially to you Andy! No wonder I couldn't always find you at Chisholms! :D

Serg

Congrats!
One of ours is going, too. Look for a big, bald guy from Seattle. :)

Were you at Chisholms? I thought you were in atrium, practicing your signals . . .

Will you be teaching the people of my local association the new sequence for a fair ball when you are in charge?

Thanks, SRW!

I saw that GH got the assignment also. Must be the year for big, bald guys!

We spend some time at Denny's after Chisholms closed checking out the local "scenery".....quite interesting....OKC at 3:00 am.......:eek:

Been there, done that and I think "interesting" is probably being kind. ;)

Wow! Word sure spreads in Pennsylvania about the "NCAA test mechanics" for calling a fair ball. :eek:

I've given my feedback to NCAA and I don't think they're going to adopt my signal into their manual. So, the "test period" is over. :D We now return you to your regularly advertised signals, minus all the sequences.

The first year that I know where I'm going before July/August and I don't get to the thread before it changes direction. :cool:

Men's 16" Major Slow Pitch - Marshalltown, Iowa

Cool - one of my buddies from Phoenix will be your UIC....
