And, I have done a fair share of what I call "charity" games for low pay.

I'm all for that. I've done plenty of those games too, sometimes for no pay if I like the charity. So I'm glad you said it. But charity is one thing; giving away your business is another.

Not that it's going to happen, but if I were approached by somebody making private money on a kids' tournament (like LL/ESPN), and he asked me to umpire for nothing "for the kids," I'd decline, and impolitely.

I'm reminded of the people who used to come into my audio store and want something cheap because it would be used by some worthy organization or for some wonderful cause.
