Pay- My advice would be to make sure it is spelled out ahead of time in your contract how many games and the fee. I am fortunate that our contracts specify this exactly and if I were not paid correctly it would be rectified within 24 hours. If you are calling a V/JV doubleheader you should be paid for both games.
Calling the game- Usually not before the V game but definitely before the JV game we speak to the coaches to make sure what they are wanting. A lot of times in JV coaches here want free substitution, bat all 11 kids, etc. It is a non-varsity contest so we work with the coaches to make this a learning experience for the kids. That being said I have seen many JV games end in a tie because that is what the coaches want. We rarely play extras in JV but this is not our decision. If they want to play to a winner, we stay. Personally, as a fan of the game, I make it clear to the coaches I am staying if they want to keep playing even if it was stated that we were only playing 5 or 3 no matter what. Extra innings are exciting, even in a crappy game. The coolest thing is agreeing to play only one more inning. That leads to some fun stuff!
