Selected to State

[sthomas13100]

After 6 years of umpiring, 3 clinics, 4 camps, countless pre-season scrimage work, 40-50 games per year, I was selected as a 5A/6A umpire this year.  Worked District all but 1 year, regionals all but 2 years, worked 9 regional games this spring, and worked day 1 (2 games) of the 2019 5A state tournament in Oklahoma.

I just want to say Thank you to everyone on this site for making me a better umpire.  This site has forced me to be a better rules guy and a better at game management.  What has impressed me most, guys here have reminded me that you always have room to be a better umpire, to never stop learning.

Again, Thank you!

I'll go one step further.  As my college assignor likes to say, "Don't F*#K it up!"

Congrats, sthomas13100

Super happy for you! Well deserved and you are one of the best umpires in that chapter. I'm bummed we never got to call together while I was there.

Enjoy every second of it.
