You may not do LL, or aspire to do the dog and pony show on TV, but there's a trickle down effect in this decision.

WS umpires are taken from all over. The difference in skill level is quite apparent. I know that WR sends only top guys. It's a pretty tough group of umpires that make the selections on who goes, not just some DAs. Same with getting a Regional nod. Not too many slackers there. Other parts of the country, and the world, aren't so blessed with the training you get at WR.
Eastern Region both regional & LLWS umpire selections are the province of the DA's.

kyle...what did the LL mucky mucks do to your Junior umpires last year? Just curious as I ran a sizable (and successful) JR Umpire program for my local league during the 10 years I was involved in LLBB.
