Who knows where or what it will get you.

I hate to hijack a hijacked thread, and will probably wish I hadn't, but for some it comes down to this: Lower pay than weekend round robins, no travel, no hotel. Before everyone starts, it's not all about the money; it's about the mentality of some in ASA that you should be compensated less than usual to provide a service to a certain customer because it's an honor to do so. IMO, an umpire should not be any more honored to work a game than the participants are to have him/her work their game.
