If I am not contributing to the conversation I am sorry.
Calm down, I just wanted to know if this was a made up list or an actual list used by an organization. This is not about contributing to the conversation (of course you are doing that, this is a discussion board), this is about trying discuss is there a better way to do things. I am just contending that even if you have a list, coaches will still have input on some level. In my state their input is just a small part of the process not the entire process. My state makes it very clear they can consider many factors not in our power rating and they even make a list but suggest they are not bound by those factors. If a particular coach sends a specific report about an umpire, it might be a big factor based on what the administrator wants to do.

Peace
