So for example, instead of 2 umpires making $60 for the game all 3 make $40. Costs the schools the same $$ and gives us a chance to help people learn the 3 umpire system. We have moved this to the JV games also at times, or if someone gets rained out or they find out the visiting team forgot they didn't have a freshman team till the day before the scheduled game one of those officials will show up and do 3 person on JV.
