I started umpiring in Little League for no pay. My own conscientiousness and forcing myself to be accurate and neutral (impartial in the first post) was the difference between good umpiring and poor umpiring. It certainly was not the training or pay, neither of which existed, although masks and "balloon" chest protectors were provided. There is a world of difference between the spectator pressed into service and merely unpaid umpires. Confidence and caring have more to do with it than other factors, assuming any judgement at all.
