I'll agree wholeheartedly with this post. My association is in the same boat. Most of the leagues are good about giving water or gatorade but some will not supply it. I like bringing my own anyway.
I don't see why anyone would care if you brought your beverage in a camelback or some type of jug as long as you've placed it out of the way. I of course agree that you should not wear a camelback while umpiring. I use my camelback for almost anything that requires hydration because it is so convenient.
