The problem is we submit our selections to the HS committee who then takes separate coaches' ratings and determines which umpires will work what tournament games. We routinely have umpires omitted by the coaches simply because they called the game by the rules and that isn't right.
And it is not weighted for the number of games umpired, number of umpires rated by the coaches, winner or loser coach, or for the tendencis of the coaches.
Another association I know discarded the comment card from the losing coach.
