I much prefer working where umpires who run associations decide who to send. Rarely do those groups get it wrong. I worked a big playoff game last year with a guys who worked a total of 5 varsity games and never to that date had worked a varsity game in the big school division. Needless to say, I worked the plate. Before the game I asked him to remove his watch and his shoes were filthy.
