I see no problem with competition. That said, it sounds like Bob is establishing an amateur umpire school. There are several of those of varying duration across the country. One in the southwest is also run by a former AAA umpire. One in southern California is run by MLB.

I think the proliferation of training grounds for amateur umpires is something to be celebrated, not feared.
