I also don't see how overloading umpires saves money, unless the tournament is paying for travel, etc. There are the same number of umpires for each game...

Are you telling me that you are as fresh and alert/aware at your sixth game?? Of course not. The simple fatigue that sets in is enough to cause more mistakes to be made, IMO. The ideal tournament schedule for me would be to work 3 games on Saturday and 3 on Sunday. I know it isn't going to happen, but I wish it would.
