OK, I will try.
Let's say you have an organization with over 100 umpires. Assignor can't possibly see them all work personally, multiple games on plate and base.
Let's say some of them score better than others on the annual rules quiz. This is not the only thing to consider, but it is input.
Let's say some of them are assigned high caliber games and there are never any complaints. This is data.
Let's say some of them are assigned to work high caliber games with an experienced partner, and the partner is asked for feedback. Better yet, if feedback comes unsolicited from the experienced umpire.
Let's say some are actually evaluated by someone sent out to do just that, on behalf of the assigner.
Let's say the assigner knows most of the coaches and makes a call from time to time to get some feedback.
I'm not an assigner, but I think I could determine who the best umpires were. Might not be fair, but it would be a process that makes sense and seems fair.
