I once heard of an umpire who was selected to do a high level (Regional, I believe) traveled to the site but was asked to go home because it was discovered that he had been paid to work LL baseball games.
It was policy in the District I worked in to not select umpires who were paid to work LL games for District and above games. "Pay" was interpreted as receiving money for services, not other types of 'recognition' for service to the league and district.

Yes, otherwise the "hot dog and coke" could be construed as "pay for services." Sheesh.
![]() Like Bob P just said, I think District is where they draw the line. Many Little Leagues do not have qualified "free" umpires at the local level, so they have to employ paid umpires. Once an all-star team advances to the District level, the volunteer umpires are a dime-a-dozen. Scratch that, 10 cents less a dozen than that! ![]()
