No Mr. Steve, I'm probably just as good of an umpire as you think you are. How do you get promoted to varsity as an umpire?

Dude, you wouldn't make a pimple on a real umpire's butt!
Maybe in your little podunk town, where coaches never get ejected, and the home team's uniforms never get dirty, they probably made you a varsity umpire right out of the box. But in the real world you work your way up to that level.

Depends on what part of the real world one inhabits. In my area, the majority of umpires start at the high school level; some of them start at the varsity level.
On this board there are several umpires who started at the high school level. Tee, I know, started at the varsity level.
