How is your onsite umpire scheduling done?

Yeah, something like that!

What I meant was you will work with each, but only see them (and they you) at one position.

We generally use the 2 on, 1 off system here. Our assignor would like to not have to give anyone more than four games a day, but that is not always possible if there are not enough umpires available.

A lot of tournaments here go with a 1:20 no new inning game time with games scheduled 1:30 apart. You are almost guaranteed to get behind with that schedule unless there are some games shortened by the run rule.

Like Steve, I really don't want to do more than four games in a day anymore.

Once you work a tournament where you work three in a 12-hour day, you never want to go back to more than that. Talk about staying fresh!

Wow, three games in twelve hours! If you're lucky enough to be getting $30 per game, you've averaged a whopping $7.50 per game and you're fresh as a daisy.

I'm not in it for the money and it was $30 a game plus per diem.

I'm not in it for the money either but three games in a twelve hour period is a bit too extravagant, unless the games we're in my neighborhood allowing me to spend the down time in the comfort of my home.

You'll have to trust me, it was worth it.
