perhaps the manual youre reading isnt the best for umpires?
I disagree. So do the evaluators and the local organization I'm working for. So does the ASA.

The spot we are supposed to go to might be slightly inferior than what is being suggested here in a few cases - but it's superior in a few cases as well and those cases are more likely than the former cases.

So ... the position is better (slightly) AND the organization we (including you and esq) work for wants us at that position. Why go elsewhere?
