Myself, I prefer a 2 games on and 1 game off spreadout from start of day to end of day.

Obviously referring to a tournament that wants the better umpires or are required by code to use so many outside umpires. For every two local umpires used, the tournament saves $75-$100 dollars a day in housing two outside umpires.

He seemed very concerned that I was doing my share to eliminate bad beer from general availability.
