Absolutely there are

-- instead they treat the WS assignment as more of a gold watch for lifelong service to LL rather than any indication of umpiring ability. It's a shame. It's also not going to change.

Agree, and that's the long term problem.
The WS assignment has always been the DC's & WP's gold watch. It's also a bargining chip to be used by the higher ups to get support for ideas and programs in other areas of LLBB which have nothing to do with umpiring.
