NumeroUno, Thank you for an awesome weekend of softball, the weather could not have been better (after all that rain we had). Snack bar was good, the fields look great and the competition was fantastic. Congratulations to Nemesis and the JYNX girls for making it to the championship game.

I wasn't there this weekend, but I will say that it seems that the level of umpiring has really gone down the past year or so. I have seen more reversed calls and umpires walking off the field in the last few months than I have in the past dozen years.

I wonder if the umpire union got together in the local homeless shelter and made a long term plot... hmmmmmm (rubbing chin).

Could be a result of the umpire services scrambling to meet the increased demand. Too bad we don't have a national governing body to certify umpires...

We didn't have any issues with the 4 umpire crews that worked our games this weekend. The guy that worked our games Saturday evening was very good, but said he wouldn't be back Sunday because they (the umpire service?) were spreading the work around with other guys. He said a lot of umpires are hurting financially because of all the work they've lost to the rain this year.

If there were/are some bad crews and they've been working 18G showcases, they're probably working the "other fields" at the showcases.
