It is the all-star tournament Dan is referring to......when it comes to post season, the veteran umpire is usually the crew chief and he assigns the rotation (or picks where he wants to work). You have been doing this for one year, relax a little, be honored you were selected for the post season, shut your mouth and listen. That is the best way to learn, earn respect from your peers and maybe sometime (it will take years) you will be the senior guy on the crew and you can pick where you want to work..
