We've not seen any significant impact with respect to the numbers of umpires just yet. We lost a few, we gained a few. A lot of the same faces returning, which is good, as I think we have a pretty good, consistent crew.
Can't speak to the number of teams just yet, as tonight was my first night back behind the plate (was supposed to be last week, but I sprained it pretty badly at the NUS - healing very well, though!). One of the other leagues still hasn't started yet (should be within a week or two). However, I heard that one of the Parks and Recs in the area apparently had to cut $80k from its budget due to the economy. $80k. Ouch.

Our HS season was supposed to start last week but with all the snow still on the ground (we got 16 more inches today), I don't see that season starting anytime in the near future. Our rec season is supposed to start the first week of May and I don't see that happening either. My point is, I haven't seen any effects of the economy yet on softball because we haven't had any games yet.
