My first games are this coming Saturday. After the perfect day we had yesterday, we're getting three days of rain and then it's only supposed to be about 45 degrees at game time. Now that's more like a typical Ohio spring day.

Tomorrow, I umpire at Adrian (Mich.) H.S. (about 35 miles from our home) and Junior umpires at Perrysburg (Ohio) H.S. (about 18 miles from our home). BUT!! The forecast from Adrian to Perrysburg and everyplace in between is for a low of 34F tonight with a 50% chance of rain, and a high of 38F tomorrow with a 70% chance of rain and thunderstorms, . Oh how I love NW Ohio weather. LOL!

By 11:30am yesterday our games for that afternoon had been rained out. By 01:30pm yesterday our game for this afternoon had been rained out. At 07:00pm yesterday Junior and I picked up a game for 05:00pm today, and at 12:10pm that game had been rained out. LOL!

Wouldn't be any umpires as many also work football and guess which game would take precedence there.

GA, if I remember correctly, has also started so early in some years it affected some of the player's national championship appearances.

IMO, the problem stems from trying to fit so many games in while restricting the number of games/days the players may participate in a school sport. Stop scheduling games in Feb & Mar in areas where the weather is not conducive to it and you will not have the amount of cancellations presently experienced.

Too many egos in the HS game and as much as some of the coaches would like to believe, the majority of the time the HS softball game has very little to do with the almighty carrot being chased.
