I hear Richie is flying down to scout out any potential U.S. Open newbies for a couple of slots he has.
Will Lynn Welch be there? Rumor has it some of the officials need help with badge tampering so they can get free popsickles from the vendors.
Line Officials RULE!!!!
I would rather be a line official than work for some the CRAZY Referees in USTA tournaments! AND for sure I would rather be a line official than a ITA cronie

A healthy monkey from the local zoo can be taught to call lines. It sure ain't rocket science. I doubt seriously if one of our crazy referees even hires you and I'm nearly certain that you can't cut it in the ITA circles.
Let's see, what's the going rate for a linesperson? $100/day sounds like more than they usually make so they should be lining up to work.
Line officials work hard too you know! We have to butter up to certain people and talk bad about others. Be careful I might start talking about you!
If I was a new officials - I think I would love the challenge of trying to figure out who's butt to kiss.
I wish we could all get a line.
A healthy monkey! Lol, c'mon now, do really think any part of officiating is all that difficult? Especially chairing a match under the ITA format, where all that the coaches want is a glorified scorekeeper. The attitude here towards those officials who work the top pro events are usually amusing, as well as the bravado of "we here in Texas are the best," but this particular attitude that elevates an ITA event or dual match above the speed of the pro events is just ignorant at best.
Flame away!
If you think calling lines in some remote pro tournament is the same as chairing an ITA match you must be from another planet. I don't know even know of a pro official that does a decent ITA chair. Plus, you get what you pay for at the pro level when you're making about $100 a day to stand looking at a line.
You don't know a pro official that does a decent ITA chair?
Are you referring to a pro lines person or a chair, cause in both cases I beg to differ.
Is there some extra requirement for an ITA chair? Must be huh, it also must be so taxing that a pro chair couldn't possibly grasp it.
BTW please point me to where the difference in chair procedure is in the FAC between an ITA event, USTA, and Pro, not the rule differences.
Please see the word procedure in the above sentence.
Most pro chairs are so arrogant, rude, and condescending that they would never make it in the ITA world. Working with players, coaches, and ITA fans takes a lot more skill than pompously getting into a chair and acting like a god. Their arrogance just does cut it in the real world.
I am a full time International 'professional' chair umpire. I officiated an NCAA final in the last 10 years, don't paint everyone with the same brush. Get your facts straight before you make such general assumptions.
I am a full time International Professional Chair Umpire. I have chaired a number of collegiate matches over the years including an NCAA final, I don't do ITA anymore simply due to time constraints. Many of us started at grass roots and collegiate level and have made the transition to Professional. One is not better or worse, just different. So, before you start making such general assumptions about Chair Umpires perhaps you should do a little more research.
