JR, there are not a lot of tools in the tool box here

Yes, I agree with you, testing is not a great alternative here. It is your praxsis that matters.

But as a point of fact, how do you determine fitness for umpiring, on the FED or NCAA level?

Here is the list as far as I know, in no order:

1. Evaluation by trained evaluators
2. Coaches' Vote
3. Umpires' Vote
4. Rules/Mechanics Testing
5. Tape Evaluation
6. Reputation
7. Written Recommendations
8. Random Chance
9. Senority
10. # of games worked
11. Other (#of ejections?, player evaluations? I don't know?)

We all agree #1 is best, then possibly #5 is 2nd best. What is #3 on the list?
IMO its testing.
You tell me.
