You guys with the big travel fees have it made. Here we get $2 a game added for travel, with exceptions for out of town games, which have a $10 maximum for one vehicle only. So, if we travel from San Diego to Borrego Springs (over 100 miles, about half way to Arizona), we ride together, and the driver gets the whopping $10 for gas. We try to negotiate for more, but like in Texas, they usually say a resounding "no."

They've told us know to our fee negotiations. So we have said no tlo their games.

Carl,
You probably have bargaining power over them, while we here have none. There are several umpire groups here which, pooled together, could easily handle the 81 high schools in San Diego County. They would tell us to take a hike, and we would be out of luck for working any games, since we already had the college ball yanked away years ago.
