Please include:
1 your area,
2 the fee you are paid,
3 single game, double header, or more,
4 the age group,
5 the number of innings played,
6 any rules local/league rules that allow the game to be better for umps and players alike (ex. run rules per inning, no fouls after 2 strikes, etc...)
7 any info you feel is pertinent.

1. North Texas, Dallas Metro Area
2. I only do FP. In area tournaments I get anywhere from $25-30 a game, two man mechanics. Same for Rec League play. For HS play, it is 30 a game plus mileage. (.30 per mile).
3. That fee is per game. No different based on the number of games called.
4. Mostly 14U through adult, though I have done some 12U and 10U.
5. HS Varsity is a seven inning game. All others are timed, ranging from 55 minutes to 75 minutes.
6. Some tournaments and most rec leagues use a 5 run per inning rule in this area. However, most tournaments are grab-all-you-can.
7. Nothing really, other than it is sure hot here this time of the year.
