Lots of outstanding umps do not go to OKC every year. So the actual pool of umps to draw from is there. The questions though, is how they would get there, help with the plane ticket, help from an umps local association.
If not, then the pool is diminished to Cal umps and whoever else is relatively close, I assert. Now are there enough quality ones on that given weekend or are they at nats that same week somewhere. With 20 teams you do not need 40 great ones, only a third of that. Can probably get that.
I heard but may have it mixed up with something else but if so someone will correct the following. Fircracker showcase helps with plane tickets to the tune of 250 bucks. W
