If there is a JV age player who is good enough, he is on the Varsity, and playing. No coach wants talent to sit the pine in Varsity game when they could play every day on JV team and help the Varsity team in a future year.
Varsity talent is better, games don't last as long, pitchers can pitch, catchers can catch, fielders can field. So in some ways JV is harder to do.
But as Rich said, more is expected of varsity umpires and they should be paid more for the knowledge they learned while learning the ropes working JV ball.
Tournament games pay a whopping $5 more than regular season here, still no mileage.
