(Also, I mainly work 1-man, so that's another reason I do what I do.)

Just curious. Are the above statements related? That is to ask, are higher level games in Illinois officiated with one umpire?
In the Chicago area, most HS ball lower than Varsity (Soph and Frosh) is officiated with one umpire. There aren'e enough umpires to cover those games with two umpires.
