Papasmurf,
A lot of the c-ball leagues are run by local PTOs or community groups. Many are not affiliated with any group other than the locals running the program. In many cases the commisioner of the league is a mother who volunteers her time or a father who saw a ball game on TV one time. Many times the umpires are also volunteers or coaches from teams not playing.
I appreciate the volunteers time, but unfortunatly when it comes to umpires, you often get what you pay for.
Hopefully through public boards like this we can teach these volunteers, and maybe even get an umpire to start his or her career. Those were some of the first games I called, and the games that first caused me to go out and buy a rule book. Actually reading the rule book for the first time was quite an eye opener. I learned how much I didn't know!!!
