Bfair--
It all comes down to money. If people are willing to volunteer, then they don't have to PAY for the "real" umpires and that pisses some people off. They had this same discussion over on the Basketball board about guys that will officiate ten games in a tourney for very little money. Their complaint wasn't that the guy wasn't a good ref, it was that by him working all those games for that low pay, it brings down the pay for all the other guys. If it wasn't for the volunteer's these leagues would be forced to pay for umpires. That's all it comes down to, money.
