I guess it boils down to attitude toward umpiring. Someone once said (paraphrasing) that integrity is what you do when you can't get caught or no one is watching. Umpiring is much the same.
Do you only conduct yourself, present yourself, etc., according to the level of play and whether you are being evaluated?
Or, do you always try to show up early, with the proper uniform, clean and pressed, and use the signals and mechanics of your sanctioning body?
