There is a similar system in place here. Problem is the coaches are not held accountable, they submit at leisure and rarely in a positive manner.

Almost always a complaint and the few positives often cited umpires more their ability to get along with the coaches. Often the case was umpires ignoring or making up their own rules to placate the coach.

When I chaired the rating committee, I could predict the winner of a game without looking at the teams' name on the card.

I find coaches rating umpires ludicrous. Half don't know how to do their own job, let alone ours.
