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.
