Here in So Cal, HS fees are $3 per game per umpire. So, with two umpires, the assignor is making 6$ per game. To me, seems high. What say others?
My asssociation charges 7% for HS games, and 10% for independent games. We are looking at other approaches. Personnaly, I'd like to see the leagues pay the assignor, even if it means a lower gross game fee with the same net. An interesting option under consideration is a flat rate. The more games you do, the lower the per game percentage. It appeals to the assignor, because there is an incentive to do more games. Eventually you get to a point where the whole game fee is yours. As far as I'm concerned, the assignor does not make enough to make me ever want the job.
