Well, now that we have elected Hussein Obama as our next President under the mantra of "change" its only appropriate that we are following the same course in the Texas Section. These changes affect you directly so be sure to take note...
Seems that the schedule for OFFICIALS SCHOOLS that was finalized and authorized and authenticized by our Sectional Chairman back in August is no longer in effect. All of the original schedule was planned with the coordinators and instructors so it took much work and planning.
The vast majority of the schools that were one day schools have now been changed to two day schools (I'm sure you will all love that), and those that were on Friday night and Saturday have been changed to Saturday and Sunday.
None of these changes have been finalized since the edict just came out but be sure to check the schedule on the Texas Section website in case it happens to be updated before you plan to attend your school. Since it probably won't ever be posted there, BE SURE to contact your local coordinator before your school date to be sure it is happening.
We have always tried to keep you updated on changes and information that directly affects you as a Texas official but I'm not sure we can keep up with this pace...

You have got to be kidding us. Why is Bruce Sampley suddenly taking an interest in attempting to set direction for the Texas Section? Expanding those worthless USTA Officials Training courses will do nothing for the Section.
Can we file a grievance against BS?
Typical of something Bruce Sampley would do. Screw up something that has worked so well for so long.
Does our leadership have any idea of how much work actually goes into scheduling a school? The coordinators made commitments that now have to be changed and a lot of people made travel plans and now have to adjust. Way to go Bruce and company!
Christmas is coming soon. I just wonder what Brucie has in store for us in the new year.
So when are we going to be dumped on with this new schedule? The first schools are 4 weeks from this coming weekend. I scheduled tennis work and a vacation around the previously announced schedule. It left me with one date at one location to attend school. If the dates/schedule change, then will the Texas Section pay for changing my vacation reservations? Or will someone write me a note so I can back-out of my umpire commitments? If this change is true, then it is obvious that the (lack of) leadership in Texas is flexing its muscles to show who is in control! How pathetic!
You Texas officials need to stop your whining and go to class. Based on what I've seen meandering around tournaments throughout Texas, additional training may do you good.
Eeyore must be from Oklahoma since they only have one school up there.
We're still waiting to hear our new date for our school. You think we will get it by Christmas?
