[QUOTE=JRutledge]I think people who assign umpires pick the best people. If you feel that someone "took your job" then it was not your job to begin with.
IMO most assignors while they might try and save their best crews for the important games, pick the umpires MOST AVAILABLE. Depending upon the size of one's organization assigning is a difficult and tedious task.
Basically all an assignor wants to hear from an official is:
YES.
In a nutshell, I disagree with your statement that people who assign pick the best people. For the most part they pick the people who are available.
Example: you could be a TOP rated official but if you are "picky", no matter how good you are, the assignor is eventually going to get tired of hearing the word NO and will move on.
