Don't disagree with your guess......however, you would think that if an umpire achieved this level of play, s/he should be able to handle whatever is asked, regardless of what experience and be assigned one of everything. This isn't like you are at a tournament and just found out the umpire isn't capable to handle this level...........or is it? That would not be a good thing.
