teebob21 - You need to do as you're doing to try and impress those who can get you where you want to be. I did the same thing and used the prescribed criteria when evaluating. To play you must follow their rules.
I never meant to say that the standards aren't what they are. I question how much perception actually affects events during the course of a game and how much emphasis we're training umpires to put on perception. Yes, how you're perceived will cause coaches to approach you differently, but poor judgment, rules knowledge, or mechanics will adversely affect that perception much more than how you stand between innings. Now, which is more important if you're worried about perception?
