In some cases, it is commissioners, district commissioners, etc. When I did the 16's, I talked to the host state UIC and he had no input on the umpires. Knew who they were, but not necessarily if they were qualified.

Like I mentioned to a fellow blue this weekend at a USA-ASA National, 'it was the best $400 I have spent' I'll go back in couple of years too! In a sense, you 'got' an advance camp in Clearwater as well. Last edited by okla21fan; Mon Aug 05, 2013 at 10:39pm. |

#5 is the chute play, and $400 to learn how it is different from NCAA, or pay $20 for the NCAA umpires manual to understand both.

You keep on coming up with real winners. One of these days you might look into some things and actually try to learn WTF you are talking about.

Based on what I would consider reasonable cause to go out, not just out on anything not on the dirt, the odds of a play @ 1B with U1 in the OF should be quite rare and should there be one, U3 will have a better angle than the PU on a throw coming from that part of the field. IOW, big freaking deal! Any umpire who cannot cover that distance in a reasonable time with ordinary effort probably needs to start working on his/her golf game.

That'd be the "aw, shucks", I fergot I gotta attend an advanced camp post.
#5 as described is nicknamed such for the infamous ASA "chute" play. That is why they call U3 the "rabbit". When you see race horses or race dogs at the track, rodeo, iditarod, whatever, the animals come firing outa their chutes at the starting gate and move like bat outa hell. In ASA, U3 has to "shoot" outa the chute to cover the BR on said #5 chute play when U1 chases with no runners on. In NCAA, PU takes that BR because PU is already trailing. This play is a 3-man mechanics play, something apparently taught at so called advance camp. |

This is BASIC 3-man in ASA. One of perhaps 5 sentences I would give a newbie thrust into 3-man with no notice for the very first time.

In non-NCAA softball, U3 has to cover the BR when U1 chases with no runners on.

He asked, I answered.
It has been asked more than once. No one else wanted to answer. That is nonsense. |
