I just have one question for the different associations?
Do the senior umpires who have excelled in their training and knowledge,get paid the exact same amount as umpires who are in their first year?
In my association in Canada, the senior umpires that are umpiring the high divisions as well as championship games all get paid the exact same dollar figure as the first year umpires.There are way to many umpires that dont care to learn to get better, that are doing the rec league games and lower division ball. I am constantly dealing with team coaches that complain about how bad the umpires are in the rec divisions. There are umpire shortages in every league that I know of, and I think that there should be a tiered pay structure that will give incentive for all umpires to make it to the next pay grade based on expierience and the level of ball that we umpire.
I have so many rec teams complaining that they pay the same league fees as everybody else and they never get to see any of the experienced umpires to call their games.
