I've never let an organization require anything. The money is just as green elsewhere, and I'll bet you'd be amazed at how little anybody cares about how many "championships" you've umpired.

Lots of associations, assigners, leagues and teams won't hire me because I don't adhere to their stupid requirements concerning what color certain items of equipment are to be, from pants to jerseys to ball bags to shoes. Hell, a couple won't because I don't use an indicator on the plate.

They don't miss me, and I don't miss them. My average revenue per game climbs every year without them.
