There is a PONY League here that does it this way:
Mustang League - BU is a coach from Bronco League.
Bronco League - BU is a coach from Pony League.
Pony League - uses 2 real umpires.
These coaches are on a rotation, much in the same fashion as the snack bar ladies and scorekeepers from each team. It's all laid out on a chart so everyone knows when it's their turn.
I've observed some of these guys umpiring, and some of them weren't too bad. When I did this level, I always preferred working alone to having a helper, but at this league, that is not an option.
