And our umpires for JV are usually the ones who are new and/or need the experience. No sense making seasoned veterans work JV games and take opportunities away from the newbies.

Now, if you have a shortage of umpires in your neck, I can certainly understand. Otherwise, making two umpires work a varsity game followed up by a JV game...ugh!
Wow. Had no idea it worked like that anywhere.

I've NEVER (21 years) had separate crews for JV and V baseball (or softball ... or football) games. Only sport I've been involved with that does that is basketball.
