In fact, every year one problem or another would come up and disappear over time. My first year, I was stuck in t-ball and the 8-10 year division. The vets made it clear that the 11-12 year division was their show. I could work upper divisions when one of them had business that kept them from working the game that day. My second year was worse. I was stuck on the the softball diamond. I worked the plate both games because my young partner didn't have any gear or I took the first game and a vet would work the second (better pitching). Then I thought about our experiences and realized that every UMPIRE out there has had similar revelations. Now you can choose to get mad or choose to learn how to handle it more appropriately. Good luck.
