I would agree, if you want to toss a cold one back and trot onto the beer league fields with the good ole boys.. you dont have to do much..
If you want high level regionals and nationals and top level tournies.. quite a bit of training, evaluation, and hard work is required... at least in our area.

Yep, Wade, I imagine that there are about as many different variations on training, certification, assigning, evaluations, practices, etc. as there are different regions handling umpires.
Heck, you can get variation from one ballpark to the next, let alone from one city, county or association to the next. Multiply that on a national level and it's easy to see things just aren't the same all over!
