If you work every game the same way the transition is a lot easier.

I know it is hard to do that, and you will not be as 'user friendly' on the local circuit, but I think it is better for the game and you in the long run.

I know I am not the popular umpire in some of the local leagues, but I also know that I am giving the locals (even 10U rec), the best game I can give them.

I dont agree. I dont work every game like its a national. Every game is not a national, there are many variations. From Rec to mens ball to friendlies to showcases with open lineups. From fall ball where I will be working on some NCAA stuff to early spring. Late May to June, its all nats prep though.

Working a game like you are working a national DOES NOT mean that teams should automatically dislike you. It means you should be working on your something for yourself.
