Coaches rating umpires
This is the problem that you have with coaches rating the umpires to work in state tourneys. Am I going to get a favorable rating from a coach if I make a call that he perceives to cost him a game during the season ? If I worked two or three of their games during the year and they lost all the games, just what might his rating for me be then ?
You need an independent entity to make these decisions to remove the "Good Ol' Boy " network from the equation. That doesn't mean that you will avoid situations like this, but I believe it's a big step in the right direction.
Thanks for tolerating my ramblings.
