I am on page with most of the others here; double booking dates will ruin you. I assign at a local association and if an ump is asked to cover a HS game, I do not have a problem releasing him from a local assignment if we can cover the games. The guys usually call and ask if they can be released from their local assignment to help out the HS assigner. If we can cover the local games, they then accept the HS assignment. I suppose if one of the local umps burned their home association to call a “better” game, they would not work anymore games at the local association. I agree that we should follow a code of ethics and respect our fellow umpires. I would not be happy with someone if they left me solo so they could call a better paying game. The level of play and pay is irrelevant to having integrity and respect for your fellow Blue.
