We get 1 1/2 in all but one league where we get both. In all but one league teams have the option of a re-schedule or delay if only one umpire.

I recall doing one solo game this year that could not be re-scheduled, otherwise finished a couple of games when partner went down. That's it the last several years.

I refuse to work solo these days. Locally all JC, varsity & play off games require a min of two umpires or no go (Can finish with 1 in case of injury if both teams agree).

Excused Absence
 

Folks,

Just to let you know my partner had an emergency as he was heading out the door for my DH, so he gets a pass for missing. Assigner tried but could not get another partner.

It happens.

In sanctioned ball, the states I work and have worked in fine you for missing an assignment. You are suspended and don't work again until you pay the fine.

In summer ball, I work for guys that require a "deposit" to cover a missed assignment. If you miss an assignment, the guy who worked solo gets two full game fees, and the teams are reimbursed 1/2 fee each from the assignor. The guy who stuck you does not work again unless he puts down another deposit. (unless a very good reason is offered, he probably won't work again anyway) Very similar to sanctioned ball.

At the end of the year, you get your deposit back.

Fees, Again
 

My mistake, idiot attack.

Well, it happened to me yesterday. I are a idiot.
