Of course we are flexible with those times. If we are in extra innings of the first game, we don't call it because the second one needs to start.

Ours do too, but only because the Arbiter requires a start time.
I would never, NEVER require an umpire to sit at a park longer than an hour, regardless of whether the teams were working the field. Umpires have lives, too, and if the teams can't get it ready in less than an hour, I won't penalize guys for leaving the park. If they want to stay, fine, but it's the umpires's call and I make that fact well known. Most of our games are on Sunday afternoons and I don't begrudge the umpires making dinner plans with family.
