In the beginning I was told that (in a sense) learn to umpire is like to learn riding a bike.
Somebody can explain to you what to do.
But you won't learn it by studying the right movements. It's not so easy.
No classroom nor professors will be good enough to teach you how you can succeed to do it: you have to try it by yourself and expect some (little?) scars and failures before you understand it FOR REAL.
You have to try it and then try it again and again.
Tests are just tools. Just a little part of the learning process. And I think you (you umpires in the States) have to say thanks for having such great tools and plenty of opportunity to go to clinics or learn from the veterans.
That's why I use to read almost every topic discussed in this forum: it's great to learn from ALL of you.
Because of all the above I just cannot understand why you consider the system not so good...
A.
P.S. Sorry for my poor english...
