Just a thought. Would it be too much to ask, at least at the STATE tournament, too have two umpires working all games, not just the games towards the end and the finals? I umpire during the week and I know how difficult it is on this guys. I think us as players and coaches are owed the best possible conditions for play. I'm not naive to the fact that it costs more money to staff more umpires, but I know I would pay a little more in registration fees to be assured that my games we're officiated by two umpires, two sets of eyes. For the tournament that is supposed to be the culmination of a long hard fought season of tournament ball it just seems right. I'll get off my soap box now, but overall I thought the tourney was run well and myself and my team had a good time with hard fought games.
