Have noticed a trend recently with lots of teams content to play tournaments with just One (1) Umpire. Not sure if this is due to many more "C" Level teams now playing "Travel" Ball, or teams satisfied with the cost savings?
I am curious to hear responses from various Coaches/Teams if during the 2021 season
-If you prefer paying to know you will have 2 Umpires on the field? Or would rather save the money and play games with a Solo Umpire?
-If you would prefer to pay a Cheaper Entry Fee and then pay the Umpire(s) at the Plate? This saves some money for the weak teams who only look to play one Bracket game on Sunday, but could end up costing the teams playing in the Championship on Sunday evening a lot more than expected???
-If it is something teams would be interested in for an "A" event or even an Open event? For a "B" event, or just a "C" event? Or it's Summer Travel Ball, play the game with 2 Umpires?
As many are posting their 2021 Tournament offerings this is something I think would be very helpful in finalizing the pricings and offerings.
Not looking for big debates or arguments - actually wanting to hear what people are actually thinking and wanting to be provided in Ohio for Fastpitch Softball!
