I know two gentlemen who have umpired in the Little League World Series and when I work with them in our district year after year, that they get paid after each game in cash.

I have been paid for doing district and sectional games in the LL tournament.

I believe that if being a "volunteer" is a requirement to umpire at the LLWS, then some people are not being entirely truthful.

As assignor/UIC, I can emphathise the plight of Regional/LLWS assignors: They need qualified people to call games. It's LL Inc. that creates this situation by mandating 'Volunteer Umpires Only'. What hypocracy!

They too look the other way when assigning games. They know who is in these games and that fact that they have, at some time in their 'officiating vocation' been remunerated.

Hah!, I hijacked my own thread!
