We are doing something similar, Bob. The umpires will secure training from a separate group. We hold "evaluation sessions" to confirm the competency of our independent contractors. Quality control is still allowed with independent contractors.
We are being very careful and diligent. The attorney advising us has IRS experience, and the IRS agent assisting us is a former basketgall official.
