The contract that our association entered into with the metro high schools does not include mileage money. Metro High schools normally pay $60 or a varsity and JV. Usually, schools outside the metro area pay premium umpire fees to get umpires to travel to their school. For instance, last week I was paid $70.00 for a 7 inning Varsity and a 1 hr JV. I traveled about 36 mi round trip from my home outside the metro area. The week before I called a 3-way and because it was Senior night and a 30 min delay for the last game, the coach paid 40.00 per game. It was on the way home from work and I was there a little over 5 hrs. How far will I travel? If it's over 60 miles one way, it had better be premium pay for the premium price I'm paying for regular gas...
