Than maybe they shouldn't be using umpires. Sell them a handful of indicators and suggest they work their own games.

Perhaps, but most fastpitch leagues and most summer tournaments here in MN recognize that they get higher quality officiating with 2 umpire crews, but they choose to accept the limitations of a single umpire to save the money. I may disagree with their priorities, but it is their money and their games.
