HS is check at the plate meeting......

Summer ball is a combination of cash or check at the plate meeting...

If a team no shows, we get full fee

If a team calls us off less than 1 hour prior to game time we get travel fee....

If a game is suspended before becoming official, we get travel fee, plus a per inning fee.........(usually $20 for travel $3 an inning)

I had a funny run in with a coach this season, My partner and I showed up at a game where he was the Visiting team coach... He began to complain about the umpire he was getting at his home field (we are officers in the assoc)......he said he did not get first rate umpires anymore......I reminded him that he had stiffed several umpires (us included) on travel fees last year.............

I wont go back where I am not paid.............

We have a contract with the league to supply umpires for the leagues games..............but no where does it state who those umpires will be.......

He paid us the travel fees owed......................
