Wouldn't be any umpires as many also work football and guess which game would take precedence there.
GA, if I remember correctly, has also started so early in some years it affected some of the player's national championship appearances.
IMO, the problem stems from trying to fit so many games in while restricting the number of games/days the players may participate in a school sport. Stop scheduling games in Feb & Mar in areas where the weather is not conducive to it and you will not have the amount of cancellations presently experienced.
Too many egos in the HS game and as much as some of the coaches would like to believe, the majority of the time the HS softball game has very little to do with the almighty carrot being chased.
