The real issue is, why would someone go to all this trouble to become an umpire and then think he is accomplishing some great scam on the "system" if he cribs the answer to a test? The "scam" is against himself!

You would be surprised! I routinely have to hide the test template in my briefcase because other umpires will try to find and an copy the answers. One year it was stolen. Luckily, I had made a couple of copies.
