Agreed. But it's a simple way for them to filter out umpires out of a HUGE pool here in SoCal. Everybody takes something.

Are you saying all your post season umpires didn't get anything during the season?

Speaking for myself I know all I got for my LL games this season, and every other, was post-game meal at the snack shack. I am very confident that's all any of the umpires in my district are given for LL games. Note that there is nothing against being paid for non-LL games such as Fed or college.

There's also nothing wrong with taking game fees for working Little League®, when those leagues are contracting with associations. I've worked about 500 Little League® games, mixed in with all the other games, and I've gotten paid for every single one. There is a huge shortage of LL district umpires out here, and most leagues contract out the games.

The ones over 18 didn't get cash (which is just as good as money) during the regular season. Junior umpires are paid in my area, but they're still eligible for post season work as volunteers. I had one of my 14 year olds work through Division this year.
