Just kidding Mike!!!!!!
That's right! I work'em to death, but I always have refreshments available

In my area, there is always a problem getting umpires to work state tournaments. Many want special treatment, some believe they deserve it. We do our best to work around everyone's personal schedule as it is the only way to fill all the slots.

There are time where I will have two fields in a two and two schedule while the others are on a three-man rotation, but not necessarily the same three umpires all day. It can get tricky and there are days where I have to cover a game or two. I don't have a problem with that, but I cannot help other umpires, if necessary, on one field when I'm working another.

Oh well, whatch ya gonna do?
