If there are only so many umpires, you can only cover so many games no matter how many are scheduled.

There are about three competing youth ball org. in my area and I've talked to them all at one time or another about getting together and try to coordinate their tournaments so everyone makes out well. You would think I just asked for their first born.

Well, there will be a few people there from you area this weekend, so maybe you can get some insight into what you can do.

Irish,

I will give you a name at the meeting and we can figure it out from there. The local association we belong to broke up a few years ago into different camps --that is what I have been told. The why of it is not known by the minions. I do know that humans were involved and when that happens-- well you get wars, incusions, schims, regicide etc....
