As assignor/UIC, I can emphathise the plight of Regional/LLWS assignors: They need qualified people to call games. It's LL Inc. that creates this situation by mandating 'Volunteer Umpires Only'. What hypocracy!
They too look the other way when assigning games. They know who is in these games and that fact that they have, at some time in their 'officiating vocation' been remunerated.
Hah!, I hijacked my own thread!
