Jerry:
In my area, umpires get 1/2 fee if not called
and hour and a half in advance of game time, and they show up at the field. This goes for acts of God or anybody else.
It would be up to the umpire to check answering machines, etc., if he doesn't have a cell phone.
If assignors/leagues had your attitude, the umps here would be saying, "see ya later," and such leagues would have "squat" for umpires.
Full fee if one pitch is thrown. No umpiring
practices (forfeited games).
