Yes, it is spring training for the umpires too. The main change is that they may choose to switch positions between themselves during the game.
Before the season starts Major League umpires are put into crews, and the crews are scheduled for their games by Major League Baseball. Once the playoffs start individual umpires are selected based on their grades during the season.
There are only 68 major league umpires, so they work pretty consistently. The work 31 weeks with spring training and the regular season. They get four weeks off during that season, and approx two days a month, and they are working all the others. The average umpire in the pros, during spring training and the regular season, can do as many as 180 games without brinking an eye!!
In a regular season college baseball game, there are four umpires. In playoff games there are two additional umpires, totaling six.
I've noticed they have 2 additional umpires for playoff games this year, totaling 6. Must be a new standard. Depends in a Major league game there is 4 umpires on a field any minor league games normally 3 but it can depend on who can be there.

Well it depends what league you are on about. Barclays Premier League: 722 Games per season Npower Championship: 1058 Games per Season Npower League 1: 1058 Games per Season Npower League 2: 1058 Games per Season
The NL and the AL used to maintain separate groups of umpires, but Major League Baseball combined them some years ago, and now, all umpire crews work both NL and AL games.
