Teams -
There was some confusion in the first weekend regarding the rates for regular season umpires. I spoke with Marc Fiorvanti this week -- he and I confirmed the current rates below (Note: effective through next season 2015 also). Here is a summary for each division:
18+ Division -- $85 per 7-inning game ($170 total for a doubleheader). Each team pays the umpire $85 per Sunday at the field.
28+ Division -- $100 per 9-inning game. The two teams split with each team paying the umpire $50 per Sunday at the field.
If you underpaid an umpire during Week 1, then please be honest if you see that umpire again this season and pay the extra $5-10 that you may have underpaid in Week 1. Going forward, please pay the correct rates above.
Also, please remember it is a league policy for teams to pay umpires BEFORE the game(s). A good time to handle this is at the pre-game manager's meeting at home plate.
