I disagree for my area and here is why.

This puts money in the kitty to pay more umpires.

So, I can use kids/new umpires who may go on to bigger and better umpire things and have them working games that would not otherwise be available at all.

I have 3 umpires who will be working their first travel ball this memorial day and that will kick off their first foray into the "real" softball season. They are nervous! Ha . Anyway, thurs I will meet with them all and go over some BU stuff to make sure they are ready.

Their training and proving came in this rec league though.
