That wasn't the third out

Take it for what is worth. If I am AD I am not paying to develop umpires, I expect assignor to take care of that, that is what I pay for. Willing to live with shortcomings at sub-varsity because I understand.

Around here all games are two umpires, even 9-10 year olds. But no one is doing 2 to develop umpires. An umpire who has to work alone is a screwup, and I have only worked one Varsity game in my life lonesome, and it was 2 Private schools playing, and I gave the teams options at the plate meeting.

Turns out that game was 2-1 and done in 1:30 and they paid me 1.5 game fee on site. I did not have that game until 2:00 that day. Not bad in my book.
