Blended system
We do both- coaches rate us AND senior umpires rate us. We have crew chiefs, who are supposed to rate you one game and work with you one game. We ask coaches to evaluate us online (the ump evals are paper then entered into a database). It's like pulling teeth to get coaches to do this.
It is subjective. Our coaches get two scratches a year, too, before they turn in their schedules to our assignor. They only get to scratch us at their home places- they can still see us on the road.
Our assignor won't tell us how evaluations affect assignments, so I'm not sure it matters.
Strikes and outs!
