A 25% haircut for the 2nd game? Did Blago come up with that?.

MS - $35 to the state $30/$35 local

paid $65 for varsity plate - $60 for bases - $35 JV or JH games

[scarolinablue]

We pay the state $35 (which includes NFHS registration), and $50 to the local association.

Pay is $65 for the plate, $60 for the bases, regardless of varsity or JV.

I have a personal rule that I won't work any youth ball around here where they pay the plate umpire more than the base umpire.

When someone calls and tells me they need me to work the plate, I'll specifically ask what the base umpire is paid and I've turned down games because of this.

I won't disagree with you in principle, because any ump worth his salt knows neither is more important than the other. However, as they say, that's just the way it is and always has been in these parts. Doesn't make it right, it just makes it so. The justification is "the plate ump has to wear all that gear."

So, I either A) accept the policy, 2) don't umpire HS ball here, or D) move somewhere else. I chose A, since my job requires me to live here and doesn't allow me the freedom to exclusively do college ball (all varsity games here are night games which works great for me).

Now, for any other ball I do, mainly Senior League and American Legion, the pay is the same for either ump.

Game Fees are $50+mileage (.50/mile) for varsity or $45+mileage for jv. JV games are usually doubleheaders.

If the new 1204 ever goes through, game fees will rise to $60/$55 plus the radius mileage plan. The money they make on LI is insane. The only sport you can work out here and make that much that I'm aware of is ice hockey.

Not nearly as insane as the property taxes.

The new 1204 would be alright if I wanted to stay in town to do games, but anyone that has work HISD games knows the baseball is atrocious. For some schools you play catcher.

Are you doing baseball this year?

Think of it as $45 per game + $15 travel fee.

Ugh. Do people think of the $60 game fee as $45 + $15?

Here we get exactly double of the single game fee for a DH.

It's consistent with how basketball DH's (for under levels) are paid -- the DH fee < 2*single fee.

Not here. A single FR game is $40 and 2 games pay $80. Those who like the bucks above everything else look for those games.

Exactly how it should be.
