No Coach?

Not a darn thing until a responsible adult is present and in charge.

If I have to wait 10-20 minutes, I wait.

Well we were very close to 30....

And adding into the mix, of course, is all the lousy weather lately, so we certainly were going to wait -- no walking away on this one! But still, there might have been a time when push came to shove.

As long as I have a parent there who's a proper chaperone, I don't mind waiting. If it gets towards 20-30 minutes, I'll start making phone calls.

I won't be happy about it, but hey, it's not about me. I just hope I don't have another assignment too soon after this one.

And therein lay the problem - this field is in Cell Phone Hell....

Well, someone's gotta venture out of the abyss.

As it turns out it all worked out for you in the end, but this is a good question. I think this is where we put our integrity to the test. If it's about the girls you wait, wait until you can't wait any longer. If it's about the money you leave. If you wait the teams , the assigner, the parents all appreciate your efforts. If you leave you are rightfully called a money grubbing fool, and you may be lucky to get another assignment, at least from my assigner. We had nearly the same situation V plays at the school, JV at a remote field. One umpire stayed the other left. One umpire got paid (did the game solo), one umpire did not and was not assigned games again.
