I am now curious how rare one umpire systems are from various areas. Can any of you Florida guys confirm that there are no one ump systems in effect there?
In my assigning area, 5 out of 8 leagues are one ump systems. When we hit playoffs, all go to 2 ump systems.
Most of our local tournaments are 2 ump systems. Exceptions may be for 10U and/or some pool play games @ 12U & 14U.
Thanx.

Here in Georgia, one umpire games are very rare. In fastpitch, nothing above 10U even in rec leagues. An occasional practice game for younger (and lower end) travel teams, but not at the older ages.
All our organized adult slow pitch leagues are two umpire; only private organizations or "company" leagues use just one.
Frankly, I price to incentivize two umpires. One umpire games pay 150% of two umpire games in my contracts.
