Hmmm,
As I have stated over-and-over:
I do not work one man games. If my partner does not show or is late, the game will not start with one umpire. Much like in some states that REQUIRE two umpires for a game to even start (legal and safety matters) I will not work a one man.
Chappy, of course if there was a reason, other than personal choice, a guy could move to the dish if it was a forced neccessity.
Again, I will not work a game one man.

PS: I am the ONLY umpire that I work with that gets to a game 30 minutes before the start. THE ONLY ONE. 15 minutes is a lot and many arrive 5 minutes before first pitch.
