The flaw you seem to point out is not in mechanics, but in sub par and even lazy performance of some umpires. We will never totally eliminate that. That is part training and part initiative and part experience (although at one point, ABUA was talking to fed about uniform training across the country)
The lack of some to perform or having the will to perform correctly should not stop FED from updating mechanics and the CCA is the best way to update.

Garth,
I have seen the CCA materials - they are very good.
Have you ever seen the IHSA materials and how they are composed? I'm not disagreeing with you about the level of commitment to high school athletics or the base quality. However, some of the CCA mechanics rely on officials that have an intimate relationship with the game and work with fairly regular partners. At least in our area, that is a luxury and not common.
