Men's "A" Slow pitch... Ridgeland Mississippi.

Just a tad disappointed that it's not at the HOF Stadium, but not disappointed enough to think that it won't be a good time.

should be a blast.

I'll be at the Women's C/D Northern in Watertown, SD.

I looked at the website for the Sunnyvale 16A tournament. There are 138 teams and I think the umpire roster is at 74.

I have a question on the "regional" aspect of the tournaments. There are several teams from what I'd consider outside the western region. Many from Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas, Michigan, Ohio.

Obviously, teams from anywhere can participate in the tournament. Does a team just need to pay the entry fee to get in, or is there a requirement that they've won a state or regional tournament somewhere along the way.

Thanx.

Can't answer your question...but On Tuesday they cut 12 umpires, including two friends of mine. Then this morning they added them back. Just a FYI.

I'll be hanging out there next Thursday.

Spent the week with some girls from PA that are playing in the 16's in Sunnyvale. They have played 18's and Gold all year except the state and qualifier. They are looking forward to the challenge and if they are 1/3 as good as their practice shows them to be, they will be contenders.

They are also hard workers when dragging and relining a field, on a completely side note.

And some of the do a great job driving umpires in a golf cart to fields that are half mile from each other.

Good to see you this week.

Nice working with you all in Newtown, PA this week. It was good to have a Nationals in my own backyard, & look forward to Sterling, VA next week with the big girls...
