Last month the postings from the Philly Roller Girls started popping up around Valentine's Day that ECDX 2012 registration was LIVE, and to get on it!
I reposted it on Facebook, like a good little FB Junkie...
...and all of a sudden it's a month later and I'm only just getting around to submitting my application, 2 days before the "general cut off." Apparently starting on 3/29 they're only accepting applications for people participating in the Officiating Clinic the Thurs/Fri before ECDX.
Yeah... not too optimistic that I'll get selected... especially to referee. Don't get me wrong, I'll be happy to NSO for ECDX as well, no doubt! I just let life and work and emotional roller coasters distract me; and if not for a reminder on the Wardens' list yesterday I would have completely let it pass me by. :(
I finished updating my Referee Resume (as much as I could, anyway... I swear I wanted to be better about keeping track). That I know/have/recall... I've got about 20 bouts under my belt... 19 of them OPR, 1 IPR; 6 of them Sanctioned, 5 regulation... and 1 tournament (I need to go back through and clean up that list, I'm sure some of that is wrong). Somehow I'm guessing that won't be enough for an ECDX-nod... but maybe my NSO experience will still get me a golden ticket... and maybe I won't be black-listed for having had to bail last summer on account of being sans gainful employment.
My thing is... I can't afford to just gallivant down to Feasterville, PA just because. The Officiating Clinic is Thurs & Fri, I can't afford to just "hang around" and "spectate," which would hurt and crush a lot... and make for not-so-much carpooling and maybe group-rated rooms and stuff... logistically a PITA.
I guess I'll just keep an eye on the inbox for the next week or so. I won't be able to register for the clinic anyway until NYS takes their yearly arm & leg... so that will pretty much define what goes on at the end of June for me.
Pardon my preemptive sulking.
