You are an umpire. You are watching a game as an observer, perhaps as an interested party to one of the teams, perhaps not.
You are doing your own informal evaluation of the crew, and you see garbage. I mean real garbage.
Do you look around to see if evaluators are watching?
And what if you look, but none of the evaluators are at this field, although they are present at the venue (i.e. a tournament)?
Do you approach an evaluator? Do you let it go?

As a UIC, I often find that other umpires who do take it upon themselves to "counsel" another quite often gives errouneous information or suggestions. I know they are trying to be helpful, but I don't need a bad habit being passed around the umpiring ranks just because THIS particular umpire does something his/her way.
If you feel it is necessary to raise an issue, I would suggest you approach the evaluator/UIC and just ask if they've seen any of the game on Field #__.
Suggest or report nothing. Allow those who are there for that purpose to do their job.
