If were in Montana instead of Utah my check tomorrow would be $242.50 for my V/JV double header, but it will be only $151.38...

Central Virginia Softball Fees
In Virginia, each local association negotiates with the various districts for one, two, or three-year 'contracts'. For state playoffs, the VHSL pays $75 for each umpire in the 3-person crew plus $.50/mile for the driver.
For regular seaon in Central Virginia, we get $70/ump for varsity, $60 for JV, and $65 for middle school (all 2-person crews). No travel fee is paid for 'local' schools, but we get $30 or $40 per game travel for schools 30-75 miles away. We offer a 3-person crew to schools for their marquee games for $150, which gives our guys some practice working 3-person before the start of playoffs while keeping the cost to the schools reasonable. FYI, Central Virginia fees will increase by $5/umpire in 2013 across the board. |
South Carolina is on the low end... a recent NFHS tournament paid < $40 per game with no travel.
At non-tournament games we usually have to fill out our paperwork at with the person selling tickets. I had a upstate pay off game about 5 years ago where the paperwork included a listing of what everyone was being paid. The person selling tickets was making more than the umpires. |

On Long Island, as stated earlier, it is negotiated by the county organizations and the schools.
We get: $115 varsity, $96 JV, 78.50 JH (modified). These are for two man games, as most games are two man. If you do a game alone, you get a fee and a half, i.e. $96 + $43 = $139 JV alone. (very rare to do a varsity game alone, but common to do a JV or JH game solo.) Plus, if a game is cancelled within 2 hours of game time and you are not notified, you get full fee. |

We also get travel for both umpires - anywhere from $5 to $20 per game (only one charge for DH). |

Id REALLY would like to hear the reason for not only ridiculously low fees, but the plate/base differential. That plate/differential has always baffled me, do they EXPECT the base ump to work less? Or is it they ASSUME the base umpire has less to do - ESPECIALLY in softball. |
