The real killer is that it takes an average of 5+ years from region to WS (West region is more like ten years) so all the decent guys we saw this year at regionals will either have quit or gone Smitty by that time.
I like the way PONY does it. Evaluate the umpires at section, region and zone. Take the best each year to the next level. Good umpires that wish to do a PONY WS (All levels) can expect to get there in 2-3 years.
