Each Team will be assigned Umpire Assignments for games in other divisions.  A Plate & Base Umpire are needed for every game in AAA and above.  While we have a group of volunteer Umpires that cover many assignments, each team will be assigned about 3-8 Umpire Assignments per season (Less in the lower divisions and more in the Uppers).  The Umpire Assignment is a TEAM Assignment, not a Manager Assignment.  The Manager and Team Parent will work with parents on the team to fill these assignments.  In the event that a team cannot fulfill it's assignment, a buyout Umpire may be able to cover the game.  The buyout fee is a Team Responsibility.
