are you from/in the Binghamton area? yeah, the team I play on won the umpires tourney last year. quite honestly judging by the addy's you gave for the September tourney(I assume you have Schneider field above mcarthur park as well as 1st ward) that the Endicott tourney will be an easier one to...
I used to play out there for many years. I have no idea who Tex Wilson is. tournament director I take it?
also, august 17 and 18 there's a tourney 15 min. from Binghamton but there's no payouts involved.
