As for varsity in the first year, I think the norm is that rookies in SC might get perhaps one or two at a small school if they're lucky. Most of mine were smaller schools.
Being that we are a little down on staffing helped me. Secondly, we do not take the exam written by NFHS. Our state director develops an extra tough one. I think this year's average score was about 78. I had an 86, outscoring my mentor and the Position Chief for umpires. (Only by a point or two, but enough that people noted it.)
To those guys with 30+ years. My hat's definitely off to you. Thanks for all you've added to the sport!

Same here in Jersey. Each chapter takes a turn writting the exam...Alot harded then the T/F NFHS test (which I know some states do use).
