OK kind of a rookie question, isn't there a little bit of an advantage to selecting a crew chief as a primary umpire?
Hypothesis: Crew Chiefs score more Primary points than other umpires.
Data (2013): Top points were Fagan (30), Fairchild (23), Hirschbeck -cc (17), Iassogna (17), Bellino (16), Wendelstedt (16), Darling -cc (15), Bucknor (15), Layne -cc (14), Hernandez (14) and Knight (14).
Data (2012): Top points were Darling -cc (24), Campos (21), Holbrook (18), Davis -cc (15), Marquez (15), Tschida -cc (13), West -cc (13), O'Nora (12), Vanover (12), L Barrett (11), Everitt (11), Randazzo (11), Kellogg -cc (11).
Data (2011): Drake (30), Muchlinski (30), Estabrook (30), Foster (23), Marquez (23), Nelson (22), Wendelstedt (18), Holbrook (18), Bellino (18), Hernandez (17), Guccione (17), Joyce (16).
Conclusion: You decide...
What is the "UEFL Express" league?
UEFL Express is the same as the traditional UEFL except that Case Play and Prop Predictions aren't include: Express is solely based on umpire points.
I was unaware of this and would like to be added to the UEFL Express. Thanks Gil.
First year doing this, I hope I've done everything right.
