Tim.

Depends on the league and whether it is a tournament. For some tournaments we have up to an hour in between games. I've had other doubleheaders where if we take more than 15 minutes somebody is nagging us.

My problem is that the umpires in the doubleheader described used their time phoning people to see if the ejected player sits out the second game. Suspensions are not their call, but like a lot of people have said it helps knowing what the policy is going into the doubleheader.
