I've been asked to call several "scrimmages" for some local 14U teams. It's still their off-season, so they want to play some games to tune-up, but they want real umpires to call the games. Usually these type of games turn into a round robin event.

A)Assuming that these will be handled in a "real game" format, would you expect to be paid your normal game fee?

B)Would you do it cheaper and consider it practice?

C)Do you set a time limit?

A]. Gary around this area, E. Texas we normally get the normal
fee.

B]. Problem with excepting less is, teams get use to it and
will hold you to it later.

C]. Yes, set time limit. Some teams will really take advantage
of you if you don't. Hour five finish inning is more than
adequate.

Sounds like you are fixing to have some fun. {grin}
