A slow pitch umpire, on an average night, will outrun a baseball umpire( who works one game) 2-1 in distance. The slowpitch umpire will make more calls and interpret more rules in that same evening, not to mention hearing more gripes.
Further, most slow pitch games, and many girls's softball games, are officiated
by one umpire.

Guess you weren't around for all the triple-dipper, all day long in the hot sun, 21+ innings worth of solo, 1-man, worst baseball in the world (JR/SR League), run my a$$ off, get beat up behind the plate all day, with players, coaches, and fans who could really care less about being there, games that I worked for 20 years. Three softball games a night. . . sheeeit! Standing on my head.
