For the record, I expected some push back here, but stand by my comments.
I do not disagree that there are priorities, but I did not state anything about breaking into a season, though there are people who will do NPF, HS, NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, rec FP & SP all during the same season. I am actually referring more to those who take the big money and run after the FP season is completed never to be heard from again until the following season. Meetings, clinics, fund raisers.....what are those?
If you are a member of an association which contracts multiple leagues and games and they need help, the umpire is still a member of that association and should help when possible. If an assignor wants to take care of those who take care of the association with better and more profitable assignments, I have no problem with that, within reason.
