"Question for the forum: In a situation like mine above, would it be customary for the home team to pay the fee for both umpires to the one who shows up? In other words should the single ump be paid a double fee if he is the only one there working the game? I await your answer
In the HS association I belong to - If you work the game alone you get 1 Fee plus 1/2 Fee. This is also common practice throughout Summer / Fall Ball as well.
LL is volunteer so you might get an extra hot dog or 2 for your efforts. I do not know about other Youth Leagues who pay their umpires such as Babe Ruth / etc.
