IMO, one of the largest issues in some areas. Unfortunately, people don't give a shit about the next guy or the services available.
I had absolutely no problem tell the commissioner that a tournament couldn't be covered if it were sanctioned on the same weekend as others.
Again IMO, this "schedule it and umpires will appear" mentality is part of a major problem with the game of softball.
