That is a blatant false statement. It doesn't mean politics isn't involved and it doesn't mean all groups evaluate. I assure you however, once you get to sectionals in Florida, there are evaluations. Please don't make blanket "factual" statements that you don't know the particulars.

Okay, I'll take your bait, maybe they do in Florida, but how many umpires are there in LLWS from Florida?
And I'll rephrase my position: if they do evaluate, I'd hate to see the criteria they use.
It can't be close to the evaluations that I've been used to through the years and I know that for a fact since I've watched the guys umpire the games the last couple of weeks and seen very very poor mechanics and approach to the game.
But as I stated, that must be the way LL wants it. I've only seen a couple of umpires that I would want on my crew.
Thanks
