For the first time, I'll be heading to Florida to work the RussMatt in Central Florida. I'm really looking forward to getting back on the diamond, especially getting a little jump on the season here in Ohio.

Is anyone else going to be there?

Has anyone been there before, and do you have any tips or advice or secrets in terms of travel, working these games, etc?

Baseball season very nearly is upon us, gentlemen, and our winter sports depression is coming to its end!  :)

Im a local so he uses me when he can cause he wants people who travel to work. Another thing is try not to tell "war" stories, bill doesnt like that. But other than that you should be fine. Hopefully we get to work together.

I am packing my equipment bag tonight (including my uniforms) to ship it via Fed Ex (half the cost of the airline), and I am trying to decide whether to bring my powder / Carolina blue shirts. Do guys bring those, or is this strictly black?

What is this and how does one get invited? 

College spring tournament in Florida. One of the places northern teams go to start their year a little earlier than they could at home.

russmatt.com -- there are 2 "versions" of the tourney, but there's an "umpire registration" link on each. I'd imagine this year is closed out, but there's always next year.

Just found out my brother is playing in this event - #48 for Ashland.

Nice. I used to teach at Ashland HS and live there. Nice town. Coach Schaly does a nice job with that program, too. I have some of their regular season games this year. I'll be sure to ring your brother up if I get the chance.  ;)   lol
