I'll admit I know nothing of the internal conversations and decisions about assignments for games during the MLB playoffs, but I was surprised to not see Tumpane's name on the list.

Not every umpire on wildcard round moves on, if you’re newer and it’s your first postseason, you prob start with just wildcard round.
So someone has to take their place. There are umpires who will work the next series not on these and vice versa, so he prob will be on next round.
Or….the 3 balks doomed him 🤷♂️

supposedly he is in the DS (per CCS article After Pandemic Halts History, Lisa Turbitt Takes WBC Field comment section) and he would be eligible for a WS, especially since he has worked an LCS in 2020. who knows what will happen. and all WS umpires will come from those working the DS. they are notified of a WS the day after the very last DS game. heck, they may get a call on the plane flight on their way home the next day.
I wonder of the guys who got their first on field assignments are first or second year full time umpires. If anyone have that information, please post it. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Appointment of Crew Chiefs
Each year the Office of the Commissioner shall appoint an umpire to act as the Crew Chief for each of the crews formed for the championship season.

The Crew Chief shall coordinate and direct his crew's compliance with the Office of the Commissioner's rules and policies. Other Crew Chief responsibilities include: leading periodic discussions and reviews of situations, plays and rules with his crew; generally directing the work of the other umpires on the crew, with particular emphasis on uniformity in dealing with unique situations; assigning responsibilities for maintaining time limits during the game; ensuring the timely filing of all required crew reports for incidents such as ejections, brawls and protested games and reporting to the Office of Commissioner any irregularity in field conditions at any ballpark

2016 Postseason Umpires
2015 mlb umpire crews march 14, 2015.
Larry Vanover & Jerry Meals have been promoted to Crew Chief. New-hire assignments: Will Little -> Davis. Tripp Gibson -> Gorman. Mark Ripperger -> Kellogg. Promotions to the Umpire 2 (backup crew chief) position: Phil Cuzzi, Paul Nauert, Mark Carlson. Note that individual crews are usually sorted by Major League service time (see Jerry Layne's crew for an exception; Bob Davidson has more service time [25 years] than Hunter Wendelstedt [15]); hence an umpire on a crew with the third-most service time in 2014 who now has the second-most service time on this crew in 2015 will be said to have been "promoted" to the second spot. Pursuant to terms of the WUA-MLB collective bargaining agreement, all 76 umpiring slots across 19 crews have been filled (+2 over 2014). There are no permanent (AAA Rover) positions in 2015.
2015 MLB Spring Training Umpire Roster
MiLB invites dropped by six (from 2014), while full-time MLB umpires increased by two. Bruce Dreckman, John Hirschbeck and Sam Holbrook are returning, Tim McClelland is not. Angel Campos (11 years of Triple-A experience; MLB 2007-2012, 2014) has been released. Umpires who appeared on the 2014 Spring Training MiLB invitee list, but who have been cut for the 2015 preseason are: Allen Bailey, Angel Campos, Shaun Lampe, Jeff Morrow, Brad Myers, Alex Ortiz, and David Soucy. Of these 2014 invitees cut from the 2015 invite list, Shaun Lampe, Jeff Morrow, and Alex Ortiz have been assigned to the 2015 Pacific Coast League. Brad Myers and David Soucy were IL Umpires in 2014. (Baseball switched Campos to the 2014 IL after several years in the PCL.)
Longtime umpire Tim McClelland has retired, and Major League Baseball has hired three umps full time for the upcoming season. MLB announced the moves Friday. The 63-year-old McClelland is perhaps best known for being the plate umpire who called George Brett out in the "Pine Tar Game" in 1983, prompting the eventual Hall of Famer to run out of the Kansas City dugout in a rage to argue. McClelland worked in the majors for more than 32 years, was a crew chief and handled the World Series four times. He was noted for the exceptionally slow manner in which he called strikes. McClelland worked more than 4,200 games, including 94 in the postseason. He was second among umpires in experience, behind only 37-year vet Joe West.

Klemm, a former minor league umpire and minor league umpire administrator, will report to Peter Woodfork, MLB’s Senior Vice President, Baseball Operations, which I assume means Joe Torre will be relieved of even more uncomfortable press conferences when things go awry. Klemm will be based at the headquarters of MLB Advanced Media, which will serve as the Replay Command Center.
Two additional four-man umpiring crews will be hired and umpires will be rotated through New York to review video feeds. Every ballpark will have a designated communication location near home plate. There, the crew chief and at least one other Major League umpire will have access to a hard-wired headset connected to the Replay Command Center. The decision of the replay official in New York will be final.
Here is the rundown of the seven new MLB umpires, all of whom have had callups as replacement / fill-ins in the past.
Jordan Baker - Baker, 32, has been an umpire in the Minor Leagues since the 2005 season. In 2013, he worked in the Triple-A Pacific Coast League. Baker worked his first game in the Majors on June 24, 2012 and overall, he has been a part of 199 regular season Major League games.

Major League Baseball announced the changes to the Major League Umpiring staff for the 2013 regular season. The changes include three new crew chiefs and three new full-time Major League Umpires.
The three new crew chiefs are veteran Major League Umpires Jim Joyce (25 years), Ted Barrett (16 years) and Fieldin Culbreth (16 years). Barrett, 47, and Culbreth, 49, are now the youngest crew chiefs on the Major League staff. Barrett, who recently completed his Ph.D. in theology, has worked two World Series (2007, 2011), five League Championship Series, seven Division Series and one All-Star Game (2007) in his career. He is the only umpire in history to be the home plate umpire in two perfect games, among the three no-hitters he has worked overall (David Cone's 1999 perfect game, Ervin Santana's 2011 no-hitter and Matt Cain's 2012 perfect game). Culbreth, a former college baseball player at UNC-Charlotte, has been assigned to two World Series (2008, 2012), six LCS, five Division Series and one Midsummer Classic (2006). Joyce, 57, has worked two World Series (1999, 2001), four LCS, eight Division Series and three All-Star Games (1994, 2001, 2012). Barrett, Culbreth and Joyce replace retired crew chiefs Derryl Cousins, Ed Rapuano and Tim Tschida. The three new members of the full-time Major League Umpiring staff will be Vic Carapazza, Manny Gonzalez and Alan Porter. The 33-year-old Carapazza, who has worked in both Triple-A leagues, has been a Minor League Umpire since 2003. He has been assigned to Major League Spring Training since 2010 and has worked more than 300 regular season games since then as a call-up umpire at the Major League level. Gonzalez, 33, becomes the first full-time Venezuelan Major League Umpire in Major League history. He has umpired professionally since 2002, including in the Triple-A International League, and has worked Major League Spring Training since 2010. He has been on the field for 175 regular season games since becoming a fill-in umpire in the Majors. Porter, 35, has been a Minor League Umpire since 2002 and has worked Major League Spring Training since 2009. The former International League umpire has 300 games of regular season experience as a Major League call-up umpire since 2010.

2011 MLB Umpire Crews
According to a poll conducted by Sports Illustrated and a report from CBS Sports, big leaguers voted Jim Joyce the best umpire in the Major Leagues -- by a wide margin. He took 35 percent of the vote, followed by Tim McClelland (18 percent), Jim Wolf (7 percent), Laz Diaz (6 percent) and Joe West (5 percent). According to the CBS report, the poll was conducted in 2011 Spring Training and surveyed 237 players. Joyce gained notoriety and widespread publicity when he missed a call at first base in June of last season, costing Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game. Joyce received just as much attention following the incident for the manner in which he accepted responsibility, and the two moved forward. They've since written a book together on the subject.
ESPN also conducted a similar poll in 2010, asking players about the best and worst umpires in the game (it was done after the Galarraga incident) and, again, Joyce was voted best in baseball.
Injured Umpires
Recently, we have had a few individuals bringing up the fact many umpires have suffered injury and are not on the field.Mark Wegner injured his calf in May and had what was likely season-ending surgery. Mike Muchlinksi is currently filling in for Wegner. Unfortunately, the injury bug continues to strike. A look at some of these injuries: The July 4th Detroit Tigers broadcast reported that Jim Joyce is out for the season with a knee injury. Joyce had not umpired since June 9th. John Tumpane has received the fill-in role for Joyce. All-Star Game second base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt has not umpired since June 26th due to a head injury he suffered in that day in a game between the Indians and Giants. Wendelstedt took a ball off the side of the mask and continued the inning behind the plate, but after being evaluated by a trainer left. Paul Schrieber has not umpired since May 10th. He has been out with an undisclosed injury. Schrieber missed significant time in 2010 due to injury. Angel Campos has largely filled the duties for Schrieber in his absence. Lance Barksdale has been missing in action since June 5th. Filling in at times for Barksdale is Alan Porter. Paul Nauert has been out since June 12th, and since has had his spot filled by Vic Carapazza. John Hirschbeck has also been out since June 12th, his spot has been filled in by various umpires due to his Crew Chief status. Wally Bell has served as acting crew chief at times in Hirschbeck's absence. Tim Tschida has not umpired since June 16th, with Mike Estabrook filling the vacant spot on his crew. Jeff Nelson has filled in as acting crew chief. This is in addition to Todd Tichenor filling in all year for the injured Bill Hohn.
