NFHS Test

[teebob21]

Good gracious, you all weren't kidding about the Fed test being tricksy. I missed nine questions because the question was either incomprehensibly written, or I missed a single word. For example, the taper is not required to be smooth, but the rest of the question was the book definition.

I also hate how they have an entire rule devoted to definitions, but some of the definitions are excluded and written elsewhere.

Do they want umpires to know the rules and their practical on-field applications, or are they looking for pedantic nitpickers with postgraduate English degrees? Never mind...you don't have to answer that.

Darryl, he didn't make you look up the definition of pedantic, did he? You so rarely come out, just thinking he woke you up with that one.

He woke me up with all the whining!!!! ( I suppose this means that I should look at the Fed test....)

Darryl, you want a copy of it to look at in word format? Email me if you do.

C'mon now Darryl, you're the one that convinced me to register for HS this year since there aren't enough blues. Who was whining then? Although...I certainly would like to get some Varsity games. Right now I am classed as a 3.

Dont forget to take your "sportsmanship" class or whatever it's called. Can't be certified without it.
